In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on double acoustic measurement for cooperative navigation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles. Research on cooperative navigation of AUV is an important topic to solve the navigation problem in long range and deep sea. We investigate the improvement in navigation accuracy. In the Leader-follow structure, the leader AUV is equipped with high precision navigation system, and the follow AUV is equipped with low precision navigation system. They all are equipped with acoustic device to measure relative location. Traditionally geometry triangulation method is used to calculate the position of follow AUV, the method may cause fault error solution. Double acoustic communication measurement method was designed, which fused the proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors. The research results prove that the navigation accuracy has been improved effectively.

This paper addresses the observability problem of 2D Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (MAUVs) cooperative navigation system. We derive the conditions to keep the local weak observability of navigation system using the Lie derivatives, and characterize the unobservable trajectories of AUVs. We design a series of simulation experiments using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to verify the theoretical results. Finally, the simulation results show that the good performance of navigation system can be presented if avoiding the unobservable trajectories of AUVs.

his paper deals with the cooperative navigation problem of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). A novel method which does not depend on a beacon network like in long baseline positioning system is proposed. The principle of this approach is to realize the cooperative localization of AUVs by using relative range measurements between the leader and the follower vehicles by means of an extended Kalman filter. Simulation results that validate the effectiveness of this approach are presented.
