The detection method of wrecked plane's black box based on SCOUT+ ultra short baseline positioning system

The black box of wrecked aircraft, as the witness of air disaster, need to be salvaged quickly. In the ocean environment of twenty meters deepth, we search to locate the aircraft black box based on SCOUT+ ultra-short baseline positioning system (USBL). The black box simulator is located in 20 m water depth ocean environment. The positioning accuracy reaches 6.35 m, and the angle positioning accuracy reaches 2.78°. After eliminating the fixed error of installation, the angle positioning accuracy reaches 0.40°. In general, the SCOUT+ detecting accuracy of the black box reaches the expected requirement and meet real needs.
