It is due to the autonomous activity of autonomous underwater vehicles that it requires faster data processing speeds and more timely communication capabilities.
The autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle is controlled by adopting a remote control mode and an autonomous mode, is communicated with a mother ship through acoustic equipment or a satellite, and is the most different from a cable-controlled unmanned underwater vehicle in that no cable or optical fiber for power supply and communication is arranged, and is communicated with the mother ship through underwater acoustic communication or the satellite. However, for an aircraft with limited size and weight, the installed underwater acoustic communication size is small, the transmission bandwidth is narrow, the transmission rate is low, the underwater acoustic environment has large influence under water, large-capacity information cannot be transmitted in real time, and only the underwater state of the aircraft can be monitored and information transmission under certain specific conditions, such as emergency treatment through underwater acoustic communication, is performed.
