Abstract
In this book, we presented a concise review of underwater communications. We discussed the restrictions on underwater operations and how these have an effect on the communication systems that can be deployed by a naval fleet. In particular, we described why underwater vehicles are required to communicate while operating at depths in excess of 60-100 m. In general, the most desirable mechanism for underwater vehicle-to-satellite communications would involve extremely narrow signal beams able to deliver extremely large amounts of data in extremely short times.
