The Naval Postgraduate School is currently conducting research in the area of autonomous underwater vehicles. In support of this research, the school has developed a testbed vehicles and graphic simulation. One of the major thrusts of the project is the development of a control system. This work explores the implementation and testing of a guidance scheme proposed by Kanayama called spatial tracking. The method is evaluated with and without consideration for AUV dynamics. Spatial tracking is also compared with an earlier guidance scheme attributed to Kanayama known as cross track guidance. The NPS AUV testbed vehicle and simulator are also described within this work.
