  Drive the vehicle along a fixed waypoint trajectory while tracking an
  acoustic contact in the background. The acoustic tracker is run for data
  collection only; the mission does NOT consume Estimation:TrackAcousticContact
  outputs to steer the vehicle, so the loop on the acoustic estimate is open.
  Use this to characterize what the acoustic estimator does for a given
  trajectory geometry.

  Flight mode is controlled by FixedDepth: if FixedDepth is set, the vehicle
  flies flat-and-level at that depth (no fancy approach dive, transit-style);
  if FixedDepth is NaN, the vehicle yo-yos between YoYoMinDepth and
  YoYoMaxDepth. Up to 7 waypoints can be specified, and the whole sequence
  is repeated Repeat times.
