The intensive development of autonomous underwater robotic complexes is very important for the development of the World Ocean. One of the main problems of using underwater robotic complexes is an increase searching efficiency of underwater devices based on the integration of the capabilities of onboard radio-electronic systems of obtaining information in various physical fields. Analyzing the physical basis of the search, including the consideration of the environment of its conduct, objects, as well as detection tools, it can be noted that the result of the search operations of the same objects in the same water areas for various underwater robotic complexes depends on what means of detection they are equipped. The presence of a certain set of the technical means will specify the development of the optimal sequence of actions of the search algorithm. The creation of such algorithms in relation to the task of increasing the search potential of underwater robotics will determine the direction of the research that ensures the formation of an optimal system of underwater search. Efficient use of search resources substantiates the conclusion that radio-electronic means of submersibles forming the system of underwater search, include the number of devices functionally interconnected for its effective conduct. The specified combination is aimed at the formation of the so-called integrated search system, which provides an exchange of information between different channels of searching devices about all objects detected. The article provides proposals for the creation of integrated search systems taking into account practical experiments and experience in designing underwater vehicles capable to implement the optimal system of underwater search using laser technologies.
