Robotic platforms communication and interoperability is of relevance for marine science and industrial monitoring. We present results of a particle filter study based on underwater Multi-Target Tracking (MTT) using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). The main goal was to assess the viability of using a single surface vehicle as a mobile landmark to track and follow a fleet of underwater targets, each one equipped with an acoustic tag where the slant ranges between the surface vehicle and the underwater targets are the unique input for the filters.
