Analysis of terrain navigability in underwater terrain aided navigation [PDF]
Abstract Aiming at the problem that the single terrain characteristic parameter cannot comprehensively evaluate the terrain navigability of the matching areas, the weighted vector correlation degree is introduced, and the terrain characteristic parameters such as the standard deviation of terrain elevation, roughness, correlation ...

Underwater Navigation using Pseudolite
Using pseudolite or pseudo satellite, a proven technology for ground and space applications for the augmentation of GPS, is proposed for underwater navigation. Global positioning systems (GPS) like positioning for underwater system, needs minimum of four pseudolite-ranging signals for pseudo-range and accumulated delta range measurements.
