Least square estimation method for the navigation error of the UUVs
Li Zhang, Rong An · 2017
In this paper, we considered the problem to improve the performance of the UUV when the navigation error exists in the application of target acquisition. The mother ship guides the UUV to acquire the target based on the location information sent back by the UUV. Since the navigation error exists, the discovery probability of the target has been highly decreased. Based on the modeling of the navigation error of the UUV, a least square estimation method is proposed to compensate the navigation error, in which the azimuth of the UUV achieved by the sensors on the mother ship has been used. Simulation results show that the proposed method can highly improve the acquisition performance.
