Passive acoustic tracking of an unmanned underwater vehicle using bearing-Doppler-speed measurements by Kita, Kristen Railey, Randeni, Supun, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…The propeller rotation rate can be estimated from the motor signature and converted to speed using a pre-identified model of the robot. The bearing-Doppler-speed measurements outperformed traditional bearing-Doppler target motion analysis: the bearing, bearing rate, range, and range rate accuracy improved by a factor of 2×, 16×, 3×, and 6×, respectively. …”
