This paper investigates and evaluates low cost depth sensor systems for unmanned underwater vehicles using pressure sensors. Two designs are proposed using barometric pressure sensors or integrated silicon pressure sensors. The sensors were tested in different environments and their performances were analyzed to determine their suitability for low cost unmanned underwater vehicles.

This paper presents the investigation and evaluation of low cost depth
sensor system design for unm anned underw ater vehicle (U U V) using
pressure sensor. Tw o types of low cost pressure sensor system design
are proposed for underw ater vehicle. The pressure sensors are expected
to prevent buckling or dam aging to the U U V. The first design uses
barom etric pressure sensor, w hile the second design uses M PXAP w hich is
an integrated silicon pressure sensor on-chip signal conditioned and
tem perature com pensated. There are tw o different sub m odel of M PXAP
put forw ard in this research nam ely, M PX4250AP and M PX5700AP. These
pressure sensors are tested in three different conditions: in w ater tank,
lake and sw im m ing pool to study their effect on various densities. D etails
of the designs are discussed and im plem entations of these sensors on
U U V are analyzed. Experim ental results show ed these pressure sensors
have different perform ances. Based on the analysis of the results, M PX AP
sensor is m ore suitable to be applied to U U V w ith low cost budget. For the
depth from 0 to 30 m eter, M PX 4250 AP is selected w hile M PX 5700 AP is
for the range of depth up to 70 m eter.
