U.S. Navy Employment Options for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs)

, 2013
This report assesses in what ways and to what degree unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are suitable for supporting U.S. Navy missions and functions. It briefly characterizes the current and emerging USV marketplaces to provide a baseline for near-term capabilities, describes USV concepts of employment to support diverse U.S. Navy missions and functions,

A decoupling controller by hierarchical backstepping method for straight-line tracking of unmanned surface vehicle

Systems Science & Control Engineering, 2019
For the straight-line tracking of unmanned surface vehicle (USV), most researchers pay much attention to the course control. In the present work, a strategy of decoupling and control of the speed and yaw of the USV is proposed to maintain a constant ...

Research on the Strategy of Multiple Unmanned Boats Based on Game Theory

IEEE Access
Our paper primarily proposes an intelligent control algorithm for an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) swarm. In the study, we assume that an enemy USV attacks a target island, while our USV swarm predicts the enemy’s attack path based on its target ...

InterSeA: An Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) for Monitoring the Marine Surface Microlayer (SML) in Coastal Areas

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The sea surface microlayer (SML) is a critical biogeochemical boundary, playing a key role in air–sea exchange processes, yet its sampling remains challenging due to potential dilution from subsurface water layers, susceptibility to contamination and labor- and time-consuming procedures.

Development and Simulation of an Autonomous Docking System for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV)

, 2019
Interessen for autonome systemer til sjøs har vokst stort de siste årene. Det er et spennende arbeidsområde, og potensialet er stort. En USV brukt som minesveiper har potensial. En viktig faktor autonomi gir i dette tilfellet er å fjerne mennesker fra fartøyet. For et farlig oppdrag kan autonomi hindre at mennesker blir skadet. Ved autonom minesveiping
