Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are robotic devices with a propulsion
system for navigation and an onboard computer for decision making. AUV research is …

Offshore wind turbines are subjected to highly-varying dynamic loadings and accelerated
material degradation, resulting in the need for structural health monitoring, which increases …

This work describes a system for acoustic‐based navigation that relies on the addition of
localization services to underwater networks. The localization capability has been added on …

This paper describes a set of software modules and algorithms for obstacle avoidance. The
approach described here is designed to work in conjunction with any path planning method …

Experiments carried out at NUWC's Seneca Lake facility in the summer of 2020 demonstrate
the efficacy of underwater navigation via a single spiral wavefront (SWF) acoustic beacon …

This paper describes the use and in-field evaluation of a Networked-Long Base Line system
(Net-LBL) where a network of underwater nodes cooperate to support the localisation and …

The navigation system is a crucial element of the control chain of an Autonomous
Underwater Vehicle (AUV) because of the unavailability of a reliable positioning system …

CMRE has been evaluating the potential of autonomous networked ASW using underwater
vehicles through a program of sonar signal processing, underwater communications …

This paper presents a characterization of an underwater positioning system based on
surface nodes equipped with GPS and acoustic transducers. The positioning system …

This work proposes a load-adaptive Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for the
frontier/boundary detection application of underwater phenomena using Underwater Mobile …
