Underwater vehicle guidance

摘要

The present invention relates to an underwater guidance system for guiding an underwater apparatus, for example an underwater vehicle, towards a target structure, such as a docking station. The system comprises at least one system for capturing or sensing information on the relative position of the apparatus and the target structure and/or at least one imaging system for capturing an image of the target structure and a transmitter for wireless electromagnetic transmission of data indicative of the position information and/or captured image to the underwater apparatus or an underwater apparatus controller.
