Currently available autonomous control systems and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) navigate based upon shortest path or direct waypoint navigation techniques and do not explicitly take account of external environmental factors such as sea state, wave direction, current, tide & wind. This can lead to either inefficient vehicle operation or a narrow environmental operating envelope for the USV when compared to a manned vessel. When operating a manned vessel, a skilled coxswain will dynamically adjust the vessels heading and speed in order to compensate for the external environment.The aim of this project is to develop a sensing package and a set of autonomous behaviours that can take account of external environmental influences when the USV is transiting to a known waypoint in adverse environmental conditions. Behaviours will be developed and tested within a simulation environment and once proven, integrated into USV along with the sensing package. The system will be characterised and compared with both the baseline Autonomy Management System and a skilled coxswain.

目前可用的自主控制系统和无人水面车辆（usv）基于最短路径或直接航路点导航技术进行导航，并且没有明确考虑外部环境因素，例如海况，波浪方向，电流，潮汐和风。与载人船相比，这可能导致无人潜航器操作效率低下或环境操作范围狭窄。当驾驶有人驾驶的船只时，熟练的舵手会动态调整船只的航向和速度，以补偿外部环境。该项目的目的是开发一个传感包和一套自主行为，当USV在不利的环境条件下过渡到已知航路点时，可以考虑外部环境的影响。这些行为将在模拟环境中开发和测试，一旦经过验证，将与传感包一起集成到USV中。该系统将被描述并与基线自治管理系统和熟练的舵手进行比较。
