An unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is a marine vessel that operates on the water surface without a crew. It has a complex system, which includes several types of technology, such as system integration technology, environment perception technology, and autonomous decision & control technology. USVs are useful for small-surface platforms and have the ability of autonomous path planning and autonomous navigation. These vehicles are used across a wide range of defense and commercial applications. Defense applications include Mine Counter Measures (MCM); Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), whereas commercial applications include oil & gas exploration and construction; oceanographic data collection; and hydrographic, oceanographic, and environmental surveys. ----------------------------------------- 1.
