This work focused on examining the capabilities that could be achieved by utilizing low-<:<>st cameras as a means for a subsurface vehicle to track a surface vehicle. Testing was performed to examine tracking algorithm performance in both relatively clear testing tank water as well as turbid pond and river water. Using a low-<:<>st, 5.0 Megapixel USB camera, testing showed reliable tracking performance out to a maximum range of 40 feet in clear water. Additionally, an undeiwater vehicle was created to allow for testing a vertically facing USB camera which was incorporated into the guidance and propulsion system of the vehicle.
