Abstract
In this article we discuss the use of LBL acoustic networks for operations with multiple AUVs. Differently from standard LBL configurations, we propose to use the One-Way-Travel-Time of acoustic signals to compute the ranges between all the devices. Moreover, we derive the suitable algorithms for both the navigation of multiple vehicles, but also their external tracking. Experimental results are provided that support the evidence that our approach is successful in operations for multiple vehicles.
