Unmanned Sea Surface Vehicle as Underwater Surveillance and Re-co naissance Tools

摘要

This paper presents a prototype of unmanned sea surface vehicle (USSV) for multi-mission applications. A small catamaran equipped with onboard computer that can be operated remotely by using wireless radio modem is developed. Integrated with different instruments, USSV is tested for applications including harbour surveillance, hydrological survey, maritime search and rescue operations.
