Abstract :
A two-dimensional dynamic model for active depth control of a towed cable is presented. This is accomplished by incorporating the dynamics of a foil into the cable dynamics. The foil is attached at the cable-end which is towed at a commanded speed. A linear passive control-law is applied to the foil-cable system. Solutions are numerically approximated and results of simulations for different depth-keeping tasks are presented
