Motion-Compensated Acoustic Positioning in Very Shallow Waters Using Spread-Spectrum Signaling and a Tetrahedral Ultrashort Baseline Array

This article presents the results obtained from a fully motion-compensated ultrashort baseline acoustic positioning system (USBl-APS) implemented using the same signaling, range, and angle-of-arrival estimation technique (Bon, 2007). The motion-compensation system estimates the array position and orientation by merging noisy measurements from a magnetic, angular rate, and gravity (MARG) sensor and a differential global positioning system (DGPS), using a Kalman filtering. This APS can operate in highly reverberant environments, making it suitable for ports and very shallow water operations.
