The navigation performance of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) as the main tool for exploring the ocean greatly affects its work efficiency. Under the circumstance that high-precision GNSS positioning signals cannot be obtained, the role of the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System/Doppler Velocity Log (SINS/DVL) integrated navigation system is becoming more prominent. Due to marine creatures or the seafloor topography, DVL is prone to outliers or even failures during measurement. To solve these problems, a LSTM/SVR-VBAKF algorithm aided integrated navigation system is proposed. First, under normal circumstances of DVL, the output information of SINS and DVL are used as training samples, and they train the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. To enhance the robustness and adaptability of the filter, a novel variational Bayesian adaptive filtering algorithm based on support vector regression is proposed. When the DVL formation is missing, the deep learning method adopted in this paper will be continuously output to ensure the effect of integrated navigation. The shipboard test data is verified from two aspects: filter performance and neural network-assisted integrated navigation system capability. The experimental results show that the new method proposed in this paper can effectively handle a situation where DVL output is not available.
