The New Approach for Synthesis of Diagnostic System for Navigation Sensors of Underwater Vehicles

Abstract In this paper, new approach for synthesis of the diagnostic system for navigation sensors of underwater vehicles (UVs) is developed and investigated. Proposed system is synthesized by using kinematic model of UVs and data fusion of sensors signals. The advantage of this approach is that it allows detecting and isolating faults in sensors of UVs at performance of underwater missions in unknown environment with unknown external disturbances. The results of performed simulation have completely confirmed the working capacity and high quality of the proposed approach.
