Abstract:
To adapt the size limit of an underwater vehicle launcher and meet the stability requirement of underwater vehicle after launching, an expansion mechanism of underwater vehicle folding wing is designed. Based on mechanical analysis, a dynamic model of the mechanism is established.

Abstract:
To evaluate loading reliability of a torpedo in commission, according to historical loading information of a torpedo, fault occurring time is predicted by using interpolation method of aliquot fault time. Subsequently, torpedo loading sequence diagram and loading fault sequence diagram are drawn, loading fault number and loading time in every service year are counted, and loading reliability is calculated with classical approach and Bayes method, respectively. And the variation of torpedo loading mass with service time is obtained. An example indicates that loading information of a torpedo in service duration can meet the requirement of evaluation of torpedo loading reliability for engineering application.

LI Yong-chun, SONG Bao-wei, JIANG Jun

2013, 21(2): 091-94. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.003

[Abstract](778) [PDF 300KB](574)

Abstract:
Three torpedo overall schemes are analyzed and assessed with principal component analysis(PCA), and the results coincide with practical situation, verifying the effectiveness of PCA in this study. However, according to the as-sessment results, the PCA method is analyzed, and three insufficiencies of traditional PCA in practical application are found, i.e.: 1) parameters standardization does not consider the difference between efficiency-based indexes and cost-based indexes; 2) assessment result is lack of physical meaning; 3) part of information is lost during the principal component extraction process.

WANG Xiao-zhou, ZHANG Yan, HU You-feng

2013, 21(2): 095-99. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.004

[Abstract](1362) [PDF 229KB](569)

Abstract:
An estimation algorithm of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) channel, which is robust with synchronization errors, is introduced. The severe synchronization error in general underwater channel might cause the aliasing in comb-pilot least square(LS) algorithm based channel estimation, if the strongest signal arrival is not the first one, therefore, a new OFDM sparse channel estimation algorithm is proposed by analyzing the influence of synchroni-zation errors on the LS channel estimation algorithms. In the proposed estimation algorithm, sparse channel estimation with synchronization errors is equivalent to reconstructing a sparse signal from incomplete frequency samples. Some pseudo randomly picked subcarriers are used as pilots, and the compressed sensing(CS) algorithm is adopted for the sparse channel estimation. This algorithm can achieve better performance when synchronization error is large. Lake trial verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

2013, 21(2): 100-104. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.005

[Abstract](1257) [PDF 307KB](593)

Abstract:
To simulate the torpedo reverberation on shallow seafloor and reveal the effect of torpedo motion on the re-verberation signal, a seafloor reverberation simulation method is presented. In this method, the seafloor generating re-verberation is divided into several scattering units, and each scattering unit is equivalent to a system. Continuous wave(CW) signal and linear frequency modulation(LFM) signal are taken as torpedo active acoustic signal. In seafloor reverberation simulation, the scattering units can be small enough to keep the Doppler frequency shift produced by tor-pedo motion in each scattering unit is the same, thus the effect of torpedo motion on reverberation signal is revealed. Because each scattering unit is equivalent to a system, convolution can be used to compute reverberation signal. Simula-tion results show that the present method is of clear physical meaning and simple calculation. Moreover, the spectrum characteristic of the simulated reverberation signal is consistent with the basic theory of reverberation, verifying the validity of the method.

CHEN Yu-feng, HUANG Jian-guo, SU Jian-jun

2013, 21(2): 110-114. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.007

[Abstract](1540) [PDF 414KB](806)

Abstract:
A novel compression perception model is established by making use of the spatial sparsity. A random com-pression matrix is constructed by designing a new compressive sampling way with compressive sensing(CS) theory. And another compression matrix is obtained by applying approximate QR decomposition to Gaussian random matrix in order to get a better restricted isometry property(RIP) constant. Singular value decomposition(SVD) is adopted on the data matrix to extract signal subspace for getting low dimensional form of receiving data matrix. Two different kinds of methods for DOA estimation are proposed based on the new compression matrices. One is for CS recovery, i.e. QR sin-gular value decomposition multi-vectors FOCal undetermined system solve(QR-SVD-MFOCUSS); the other is for CS beamforming, i.e. random singular value decomposition compressive sensing beamforming(RSVD-CSB) and QR singu-lar value decomposition compressive sensing beamforming(QRSVD-CSB). Simulation results show that, compared to the multi-vectors FOCal undetermined system solver(MFOCUSS) algorithms, QR-SVD-MFOCUSS is suitable for low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) condition with significant reduction of computational burden; and compared to the minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR) algorithms and the CS beamforming algorithms, the proposed method pos-sesses higher angular resolution, lower root mean square error(RMSE), better estimation performance, and so on.

2013, 21(2): 115-119. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.008

[Abstract](1113) [PDF 244KB](573)

Abstract:
High precision cooperative navigation and localization are the bases for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles(MAUVs) cooperation, and cooperative navigation algorithm is the key technique of multiple AUVs cooperation. In a multiple AUVs cooperation system composed of two leader AUVs with high precision navigation sensors and mul-tiple follower AUVs with low precision navigation sensors, assuming the follower AUVs receive the broadcast informa-tion from the leader AUVs using acoustic communication equipments, the distance between leader and follower AUVs, as well as the leader AUVs position information, can be obtained. In this paper, a cooperative navigation system model is established by taking the leader AUVs as the synthetic moving long baseline(SMLBL) nodes, a multiple cooperative navigation algorithm is proposed based on one-way acoustic broadcast communication from leader AUVs, and effective fusion of the internal and external navigation information of the follower AUVs is achieved. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can greatly improve the navigation accuracy of the follower AUVs.

2013, 21(2): 120-125. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2013.02.009

[Abstract](1077) [PDF 547KB](616)

Abstract:
For arguing the feasibility of torpedo underwater localization and navigation with Loran-C signal received by H-field antenna, the principle of omnidirectional H-field antenna is introduced, the field intensity attenuation laws of the H-field and E-field signals in propagation of Loran-C signal are analyzed. Simulation results indicate that H-field antenna can receive Loran-C signals with high signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), meeting the requirements of underwa-ter localization solution. Experimental results show that H-field antenna can receive the signals with higher SNR at the depth of 4~5 m underwater over a distance of 1 000 km. Test confirms that the localization solution can be obtained with Loran-C signal received by H-field antenna in the depth less than 5 m underwater, which verifies the correctness of the simulation. This study may provide a theoretical basis for torpedo underwater navigation with H-field antenna.
