← TechnologyWhich risk increases when ultrasonic sensors on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) experience acoustic interference?
A)Navigation system position drift✓
B)Propeller cavitation intensity
C)Battery thermal runaway events
D)Corrosion under cathodic protection
💡 Explanation
Navigation drift occurs when acoustic interference disrupts the sensor's ranging accuracy, causing incorrect position updates based on Dead Reckoning. Because position errors accumulate over time due to disrupted odometry, the AUV drifts, rather than immediate propeller damage or thermal increases.
