A study on the estimation of sea-waves influence on the working depth of towed underwater vehicle

The article presents the problem associated with the influence of seawaves on the working depth of a towed underwater vehicle (TUV) including: defining transfer function (TF) of the towing cable - underwater vehicle system; analyzing the sea-wave’s features, modeling and defining the TF of filter which forms the sea-waves; estimating the TFs of the system (TC - UV) and researching the influence of sea-waves to the TUV’s working depth in the time domain.
