A Communications and Relative Navigation Architecture for Underwater Vehicle Coordination

Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of a communications stack for underwater communications and relative localisation. The application scenario, under the auspices of the EC MORPH project, is described. The high-level architecture is described, with the relevant hardware and software implementation details. A summary of the localisation methods, based on previous works, is given, followed by a discussion of the encoding mechanism.
