In general, surface positioning using a global satellite navigation system (GNSS). Many satellites transmit radio signals to the surface of the earth and it was detected by receiver sensors into a function of position and time. Radio waves really bad when spreading in water. So, the underwater positioning uses acoustic wave. One type of underwater positioning is USBL. USBL is a positioning system based on measuring the distance and angle. Based on distance and angle, the position of the target in cartesian coordinates can be calculated. In practice, the effect of ship movement is one of the factors that determine the accuracy of the USBL system. Ship movements like a pitch, roll, and orientation that are not defined by the receiver could changes the position of the target in X, Y and Z coordinates. USBL calibration is performed to detect an error angle. USBL calibration is done by two methods. In USBL calibration Single Position obtained orientation correction value is 1.13 ̊ and a scale factor is 0.99025. For USBL Quadrant calibration, pitch correction values is -1.05, Roll -0.02 ̊, Orientation 6.82 ̊ and scale factor 0.9934 are obtained. The quadrant calibration results deccrease the level of error position to 0.276 - 0.289m at a depth of 89m and 0.432m - 0.644m at a depth of 76m

Буксируемый подводный модуль (БПМ) эффективно используется для решения задач, связанных с координированием подводных объектов, местоположение которых подлежит уточнению в процессе их детальногообследования. При этом большое значение имеет точность определения координат самого буксируемогомодуля относительно судна-буксировщика. Использование гидроакустических навигационных средств, вчастности систем с ультракороткой базой (ГАНС УКБ), ограничено вследствие помех, влияющих на качествосигналов в приемной антенне. Альтернативой служит метод определения координат БПМ на основе данныхтраекторных измерений параметров буксируемой системы. К числу последних относятся расчетные значенияпараметров кабеля связи в установившихся режимах буксировки, значения путевой скорости и путевого углабуксировщика, а также измеренные значения длины кабеля, глубины погружения и курса БПМ. В работе дансравнительный анализ различных вариантов вычислительных алгоритмов, позволяющих получить оценки точности определения координат БПМ в различных режимах стационарной буксировки и при наличии сбоев вработе навигационных средств.The towed underwater module (TUM) is a useful toolfor solving problems of the positioning of the underwaterobjects, the location of which must be clarified during its detailedinspection. Herewith, the accuracy of the determinationof the coordinates of the towed module itself relative tothe towing vessel is essential for such kind of problems. Theuse of underwater acoustic navigation means, the systemswith ultra-short baseline (USBL) in particular, are limiteddue to interference affecting the quality of the signals on thereceiving antenna. As an alternative, the method is proposedfor TUM positioning based on trajectory measurements ofparameters of the towed system, which may include calculatedvalues of communication cable parameters in steadystatetowing modes, values of ground speed and towing angle,as well as measured cable length, immersion depth, andTUM heading. The paper provides a comparative analysisof various versions of computational algorithms, which allowobtaining estimates of the TUM positioning accuracy indifferent modes of stationary towing and in the presence offailures in navigation systems operation.
