Tracking experiment of multiple AUVs by a semi-submersible ASV

摘要

We have developed a semi-submersible ASV (Autonomous Surface Vehicle) that tracks and controls AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) on behalf of the mothership. In September 2016, we conducted tracking, positioning and communication tests of multiple AUVs by using the ASV. The results of the trials proved the performance as designed. And the ASV succeeded the test of each AUV tracking and multiple AUVs tracking.
