With a mixture of theoretical exposition, simulation and actual sea trial results the possibility of making a mobile networked system which behaves in an optimal manner is discussed. For a single AUV it is shown that an information theoretic approach yields a result which can be simplified and was then actually demonstrated at sea. For a multistatic system with two AUVs we show how our approach leads to particular interesting behaviours and discuss the consequences for an at sea-trial to be held later in the year.}}
