Abstract: With the growing autonomous, unmanned and intelligent of underwater equipment, it becomes an inevitable direction for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) in the form of clusters. The research status of UUVs equipment and the implementation of related projects are firstly presented in this paper. Then the research progress of UUVs cooperative localization technology is systematically reviewed in configuration designing, observation error correcting, model and solution methods, and underwater acoustic communication. Besides, the development trend of UUVs cooperative localization technology is carefully analyzed, for example, the visualization of UUVs configuration design, the refinement of multi-source sensor error modeling, the intelligence of UUVs cooperative localization algorithm, and the real-time quality control of positioning results. At last, the future development of UUVs cooperative localization technology is prospected.

Key words: UUV, cooperative localization, key technology, configuration design, error correcting, acoustic communication
