Abstract
The majority of cruising Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) rely on similar technologies for navigation and positioning solutions. This paper examines the traditional approach and some enhancements designed to improve autonomous operations that are available today. Finally it will explore some new techniques under current development. Examples of equipment and performance will be provided from Kongsberg Maritime´s experience as the leading manufacturer of survey class AUVs.
