IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018 Abstract The navigational drift for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating in open ocean can be bounded by regular surfacing. However, this is not an option when operating under ice. To operate effectively under ice requires an on-board navigation solution that does not rely on external infrastructure.
