Abstract

This article conducts a comprehensive analysis of modern navigation methods for autonomous underwater vehicles, emphasizing their technological features, advantages, and limitations. Primary attention is given to five key methods: acoustic navigation, global positioning systems, Doppler velocity log (DVL) navigation, inertial navigation, trajectory observation navigation based on diffusion, as well as ensuring the navigation of groups of underwater vehicles. The study's results indicate that integrating various navigation methods can significantly enhance the reliability and accuracy of positioning underwater vehicles, ensuring effective mission execution in challenging conditions. Considering current technology development trends and operational requirements, the article also outlines directions for further research and developments in underwater navigation.
