N2 - The paper is concerned with a simulation of motions of the launcher of a deep sea exploration unmanned underwater vehicle "KAIKO" to determine the power of the thruster required to control the heading angle. The thruster is installed between the two vertical tail wings of the launcher. The motions of the primary cable between the launcher and the mother ship are described by a 3-D lumped mass method, and the motions of the launcher are expressed by 3-D freedom equations noting that roll, pitch and heave motion are small. Hydrodynamic coefficients of the launcher obtained by the model experiments were used for the simulations. The motions of the launcher controlled by a PID controller in a current and the effect of the controller on periodic disturbance are shown.
