Cooperative Unmanned Vehicles in the Maritime Environment: Sea Trials 2

Abstract

Cooperative Unmanned Vehicles in the Maritime Environment: Sea Trials 2SOWSince Global Positioning System (GPS) is not available for unmanned underwater vehicles localizationwhen underwater, it is possible to use various other sensors in order to improve the localization accuracy.The long-term goal of our research is to provide, develop, integrate, and test the hardware and softwareprotocols necessary to advance combined operations between multiple unmanned systems, namelyunmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned surface marine vehicles (USVs), and even theircooperation with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), to enhance the navigational accuracy of UUVs,especially during large-scale survey missions. In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, the firstobjective is to obtain a data set during sea trials involving one UUV and several USVs, and thus gathermeasurements from various sensors used to localize the UUV.Tracking
