Abstract


In this paper, the design, development, fabrication and tests of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) are discussed. The USV is designed to accommodate a path following mechanism. Thus, an automated control system is enabled. For the first time, a fully autonomous USV with environmental mission is developed and manufactured in Indonesia. Preliminary trajectory tests were conducted in open water environments with enclosed region, i.e., dam reservoirs. Insight from the tests was used to optimized the USV’s automated path following control system. Results of bathymetric survey are also shown in some details. Based on the tests, the USV is proven to have a functioning capability for automated environment’s mapping.
