Unmanned Safe Maritime Operations Over The Horizon (USMOOTH)

USMOOTH项目解决了与无人水面舰艇的无人地平线(OTH)操作相关的监管和安全问题，并将开发强大的船只行为、可靠的通信、态势感知和强大的安全案例。ASV已与；D-RisQ合作，从航空航天领域引入经认证的软件开发技术；克兰菲尔德大学，以进一步开发碰撞避免算法；安全专家Frazer Nash咨询公司和海事海岸警卫队机构(MCA)，以提供安全和监管专业知识。该项目的成功将加速英国工业向近海能源、科学和国防市场的渗透，以完成海底定位、环境监测和海上安全等任务。该方法是与其人类操作员一起解决USV技术，引入一个整体解决方案来有力地解决阻碍当前USV部署的安全限制。

The USMOOTH project addresses regulatory and safety issues appertaining to unmanned Over The Horizon (OTH) operations of Unmanned Surface Vessels and will develop robust vessel behaviours, reliable communications, situational awareness and a robust safety case. ASV has teamed with; D-RisQ, to introduce from the aerospace domain accredited software development techniques; Cranfield University, to further develop collision avoidance algorithms; safety specialist Frazer Nash Consultancy and the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) to provide safety and regulatory expertise. Success in this project will accelerate UK industrial penetration into offshore energy, scientific and defence markets for tasks such as subsea positioning environmental monitoring and maritime security. The approach is to address USV technologies alongside their human operators introducing a holistic solution to robustly address the safety constraints blocking current USV deployment.
