“…Military and defense applications use a combination of underwater sensors to identify potential enemies earlier by conducting ports and harbor monitoring and control [ 112 ], sea mine detection [ 113 ], border protection from illegal battleships or submarines, and distributed tactical surveillance [ 114 ]. Furthermore, UWSN advanced technologies such as the mobile underwater sensor network are also used to provide early warnings of natural catastrophes such as seismic activities on the seafloor [ 112 ]. Jain and Virmani [ 115 ] designed a model for real-time tsunami prediction and used data collected from the occurrence of the tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean in 2004 for evaluation.…”

The domain of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) had received a lot of attention recently due to its significant advanced capabilities in the ocean surveillance, marine monitoring and application deployment for detecting underwater targets. However, the literature have not compiled the state-of-the-art along its direction to discover the recent advancements which were fuelled by the underwater sensor technologies. Hence, this paper offers the newest analysis on the available evidences by reviewing studies in the past five years on various aspects that support network activities and applications in UWSN environments. This work was motivated by the need for robust and flexible solutions that can satisfy the requirements for the rapid development of the underwater wireless sensor networks. This paper identifies the key requirements for achieving essential services as well as common platforms for UWSN. It also contributes a taxonomy of the critical elements in UWSNs by devising a classification on architectural elements, communications, routing protocol and standards, security, and applications of UWSNs. Finally, the major challenges that remain open are presented as a guide for future research directions.

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) have gained more attention from researchers in recent years due to their advancement in marine monitoring, deployment of various applications, and ocean surveillance. The UWSN is an attractive field for both researchers and the industrial side. Due to the harsh underwater environment, own capabilities, and open acoustic channel, it is also vulnerable to malicious attacks and threats. Attackers can easily take advantage of these characteristics to steal the data between the source and destination. Many review articles are addressed some of the security attacks and taxonomy of the Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks. In this study, we have briefly addressed the taxonomy of the UWSNs from the most recent research articles related to the well-known research databases. This paper also discussed the security threats on each layer of the Underwater Wireless sensor networks. This study will help the researchers design the routing protocols to cover the known security threats and help industries manufacture the devices to observe these threats and security issues.

“…COMPUTING PLATFORM The results given below were obtained under the European project WiMUST (Widely Scalable Mobile Underwater Sonar Technology) [1], which aims to build an innovative geotechnical survey system of marine robots fitted with UWA modems for estimation of ranging information and short seismo-streamers towed in the water column, mainly close to the bottom. In this context, an important requirement for the system is high accuracy in estimating the AUV position.…”

Accurate time synchronization of the nodes of digital underwater acoustic (UWA) networks is necessary for the effective use of information obtained from various kinds of underwater sensors over a vast water area. The sensors of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) are widely used to address new challenges. One of them is time synchronization of sensors on mobile carriers, as well as synchronization of the clocks on mobile nodes of UWA networks, for example, teams of AUVs that perform coordinated and/or cooperated operations. The paper presents theresults of the experiments on using UWA modems for AUV positioning, namely, UWA modems with chip-scale atomic clocks (CSAC) that allow accurate measurements of delays in propagation of UWA signals and, thus, accurate estimation of ranges to their georeferenced sources. In addition, the accuracy of CSAC operation in various situations as well as positioning accuracy of AUVs having UWA modems with integrated CSACs are analyzed based on the experimental results. Also given are practical recommendations on how to "discipline" (steer) CSACs and provide their phase synchronization with a source of timekeeping signals.
