The NT1000 deep-water neutrino telescope with an effective volume of similar to 2 km(3) is currently being developed at Lake Baikal by the BAIKAL collaboration. The telescope will be composed of functionally independent setups-clusters of strings of optical modules based on photomultiplier tubes (with eight strings in each cluster). Since 2011, field tests of the basic elements and systems of the future telescope included in autonomous measuring complexes-prototypes of the NT1000 cluster-have been performed at Lake Baikal. The basic elements and the layout of one of the currently considered versions of the acoustic positioning system for the NT1000 telescope are described, and results of tests of the system prototype included as a component in the experimental cluster of the year 2012 are presented.
