  • Abstract
    In military applications, underwater vehicles do not communicate with each other. They use sonar systems to detect enemy vehicles that are trying hard not to make any sound or noise. In autonomous/unmanned underwater vehicles (AUVs, UUVs), sonar systems are usually employed to detect or avoid underwater obstacles. With the emergence of sQuba, a new breed of car that can be driven both on land and underwater, we explore a new sonar problem. How can an underwater moving vehicle verify the location of senders? As conventional sonar techniques are not appropriate for our purpose, we present a hybrid sonar algorithm that can help underwater vehicles locate target vehicles.
