Autonomous Operation and Collision Avoidance

为了使无人驾驶和自动驾驶车辆在军事和商业航运中变得可行，它们需要能够在高度自主和最少的人为监督下安全运行。它们在公共区域的操作需要得到强有力的测试证据的支持，以提供所需的安全保证。该项目将研究人/系统交互的新操作概念和方法，以确保无人系统可以通过远程控制从远处有效操作，并减少人为错误的可能性。此外，该项目还将致力于开发一种能力，大大改善海上障碍物的探测、定位和跟踪，从而实现更安全的自主操作。

For unmanned and autonomous vehicles to become viable in military and commercial shipping, they need to be able to operate safely with a high degree of autonomy and minimal human supervision. Their operation in public areas needs to be supported with a robust body of test evidence to provide the required assurance of their safety. This project will research new operating concepts and methods for human / system interaction to ensure that unmanned systems can be efficiently operated from a distance, by remote control, and to reduce the likelihood of human error. Additionally, the project will address the development of a capability that will provide significant improvements in detection, location and tracking of obstacles at sea, allowing for safer autonomous operation.
