This work shows a linearization for a AUV-Cormoran dynamic mathematical model with the aim of designing linear controllers for trajectory control. The model is developed under 3 degrees of freedom and the whole system has been simulated in Matlab Simulink environment. The linearization model is based on understanding the dynamics of the vehicle under different operating speeds, which present a different behavior, yet to be controlled by a single linear controller. For the linear control has raised the PD control that allows eliminate the position error, performing simulations of different trajectories and comparing its results in stability.
