Abstract
This paper discusses the implementation of an intelligent navigation system for an autonomous unmanned surface vessel (USV). The focus is developing a multiple sensor data acquisition and fusion system to provide accurate and continuous information on positions, speeds and courses of the USV itself and also dynamic obstacles known as target ships (TSs). For USV’s autonomous navigation, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, low-cost sensors for dead reckoning (DR) and various types of electronic compasses are employed; For TS’s localisation, the Automatic Identification System (AIS) information has been simulated to estimate and predict the positions of TSs over time. Simulations and practical trials are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
