Abstract;An autonomous underwater vehicle URASHIMA was completed to research underwater technology for navigation and power sources by Japan Agency for Marine-Science and Technology. Positional error accumulated in the inertial navigation system is one of the technical problems; because underwater time is increased, fuel cells are used. To solve this problem, the AUV has two methods of error correction. This paper presents positional correction theory for inertial navigation by super sort base line acoustical positional technology and compares them to the obtained data in the sea. (author abst.)
