MOLCHANOV A variant of constructing a system for monitoring the location of autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are submerged in the process of performing a working mission, on the basis of autonomous hydroacoustic stations (HAS) is considered. A model of a multistatic system consisting of several spaced active and passive HASs is considered. A solution to the problem of optimizing the station spacing depending on the hydrological conditions of the controlled work area is proposed. Keywords: rapidly deployable autonomous sonar stations, noise direction finding, sonar, multistatic system, autonomous underwater vehicles, positioning, multistatic system optimization, vertical distribution of sound velocity in water.
