A high‐resolution AUV navigation framework with integrated communication and tracking for under‐ice deployments by Randeni, Supun, Schneider, Toby, Bhatt, EeShan C., Víquez, Oscar A., Schmidt, Henrik

“…To decouple the contributions from the HydroMAN and ICNN subsystems towards a stable navigation solution, this article evaluates them separately: (1) HydroMAN was compared against DVL bottom‐track aided INS during pre‐ICEX20 engineering trials where both systems provided similar accuracy; (2) ICNN was evaluated by conducting a static experiment in the Arctic where the ICNN navigation updates were compared against GPS with ICNN error within low tens of meters. The joint HydroMAN‐ICNN framework was tested during ICEX20, which provided a nondiverging high‐resolution navigation solution—with the majority of error below 15 m—that facilitated a successful AUV recovery through a small ice hole after an 11 km untethered run in the upper and mid‐water column.…”
