Which outcome occurs when an autonomous underwater vehicle's (AUV) Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) sensor experiences acoustic interference from surface vessels?

💡 Explanation

The acoustic interference corrupts the reflected signals used by the Doppler shift mechanism, therefore compromising the AUV's velocity readings and leading to incorrect navigational calculations during autonomous missions, rather than affecting the vehicle's propulsion, materials, or reporting functions.
