The 1999 AUVFest was held near Gulfport, Mississippi in a shallow-water area with depths between 3 and 8 meters. The acoustic channel was characterized by multipath spanning up to 20 msec and high noise levels from snapping shrimp. Acoustic communication testing was performed with the REMUS AUV transmitting both known test data and realtime status information. In addition, a series of ship-to-ship tests were performed in order to characterize stationary performance at ranges of one to five kilometers. Data rates of 60-5000 bits per second were transmitted and, despite the very shallow water conditions, the communication link was reliable at ranges up to 5 km at all data rates.
