Abstract

Proposed is an underwater drift tracking system based on a maritime positioning platform. The underwater drift tracking system may include a plurality of underwater drifting objects configured to transmit sound wave signals including their own water depth information by using sound wave communication while drifting underwater. The underwater drift tracking system may also include a maritime drift tracker configured to track real-time underwater locations of the underwater drifting objects by moving on the sea under its own power, receiving the transmitted sound wave signals from the plurality of underwater drifting objects, and calculating absolute location information of the plurality of underwater drifting objects using the received sound wave signals.
