METHOD FOR NAVIGATION SUPPORT OF A GROUP OF SPECIALIZED UNDERWATER VEHICLES PERFORMING A COMMON MISSION IN A SHALLOW WATER AREA Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G01S3/808 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater navigation means and can be used to determine the exact location of a group of specialized underwater vehicles. Method for accurate determination of coordinates of a group of underwater vehicles equipped with low-cost navigation means, coordinates are determined aboard a command vehicle equipped with a developed navigation system and connected to the group vehicles by hydroacoustic communication means. Task is solved based on measurements of the range of each vehicle of the group from the command one and mutual distances of the vehicles of the group.

EFFECT: determination of geographical coordinates of a group of underwater vehicles during a mission in an underwater position, in which only one vehicle is equipped with means of accurate underwater navigation for determining geographic coordinates.
