UNMANNED SURFACE VEHICLES (USV)
Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) represent a rapidly evolving maritime technology that operates on water surfaces without onboard crew, utilizing autonomous or remotely controlled systems. Core enabling technologies include advanced sensor fusion systems combining GPS, IMU, LiDAR, and sonar for autonomous navigation. Hull design fundamentally impacts performance, with monohulls offering superior seaworthiness and self-righting capabilities, while catamarans provide enhanced stability and reduced wetted surface area.
