Development of a Command AUV for Controlling a Group of Hybrid AUVs for Operational Noise Field Monitoring

The article substantiates the appearance of a command AUV coordinating and controlling a group of hybrid AUVs carrying a vector-scalar sound receiver on board. It is proposed to equip the command AUV with systems that ensure the collection of results of processing noise field signals received via a hydroacoustic communication channel from hybrid AUVs and transmission them to the post of operator. In accordance with this task, the composition of the equipment is determinedand the appearance of the command AUV is substantiated and formed. Particular attention is paid to the unification of the onboard systems of the command AUV and hybrid AUV complex. The prospects for using such a complex are noted, determining the possibility of solving the tasks of the purpose in real time and increasing the efficiency in general.
