Optimal Navigation of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle and an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Collaborating for Reliable Acoustic Communication with Collision Avoidance

This paper focuses on safe navigation of an unmanned surface vehicle in proximity to a submerged autonomous underwater vehicle so as to maximise short-range, through-water data transmission while minimising the probability that the two vehicles will accidentally collide. A sliding mode navigation la...
