Practicality of using magnetometer inside AUV
Mags are used in almost all UAVs. It will be useful and it will be a unique source of information.
Adding a some shielding between the mag and your computers and power lines will greatly reduced the ...

What RF transceivers modules are used on AUVs for communication with ground station?
I will mention that fresnel zone issues are no joke. When the zone is violated either by the ground plane, or other objects, the transmission will be severely attenuated.
Note however that the shape ...

Practicality of using magnetometer inside AUV
As mentioned in the previous answer, many small, low-cost underwater (and aerial) vehicles use a magnetic compass. You need a good procedure for both hard-iron and soft-iron calibration of your ...
