Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of error calibration, and particularly relates to a submersible ultra-short baseline underwater calibration system and a calibration method for installation deflection angle. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-short baseline (USB) positioning systems, with their advantages of simple structure and convenient installation, have become commonly used acoustic positioning devices for underwater targets. The installation deflection angle between the acoustic array and the compass is the main source of positioning error in USB systems. Traditional installation deflection angle calibration methods are mostly used for shipborne USB systems, typically obtaining the installation deflection angle by locating an underwater fixed reference point along a pre-set track from a surface vessel with a known absolute position. However, these methods rely on high-precision carrier position information provided by GPS equipment, which is often difficult to obtain for submersible platforms performing long-term underwater missions. Although some acoustic positioning systems can provide position information for underwater vehicles, their positioning accuracy is usually one to two orders of magnitude lower than that of GPS positioning systems, failing to meet the technical requirements for high-precision installation deflection angle calibration.
