Abstract:	Determination of underwater coordinates is important in such activities like underwater vehicle operation, installation of underwater structure and so on. The determination methods are using LBL, SSBL or an inertia navigation sensor, which are all very expensive. In some scientific or academic operations, the cost of position determination of an underwater structure or a vehicle is too expensive to realize in the sea experiments and a low cost position detection system should be developed. In this paper, a floating LBL concept is presented. The LBL system consists of at least three floating buoys each of which has a GPS, a pair of ultrasound transmitter and receiver, wireless communication device and a microcomputer board which controls the total procedure. We will introduce and explain about each module of the buoy system, ultrasound transmitter/receiver.
