Abstract

Human usually can not work for maritime rescue at severe sea, so an intelligent trimaran USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) for maritime rescue is designed. Design works involve determination of ship type, intelligent navigation, intelligent collision avoidance, and intelligent control system. Firstly, trimaran is determined as ship type. Secondly, a integrated control system is designed, and then multitasking control platform of the USV is developed. Thirdly, multi-information fusion technology of multi-sensors of USV is developed. Fourthly, a algorithm of intelligent navigation and collision avoidance for USV is developed, and the technology of intelligent navigation and collision avoidance is achieved. Importantly, multimode heterogeneous network communication technology is applied for the communication between USV and base station. All technologies and equipments are applied and installed in a 5m USV and 7m trimaran USV to test the intelligent USV system for maritime rescue in a lake and river. Finally, the two model tests are used to verify the availability of equipments and systems, the systems of intelligent navigation and collision avoidance, and the system of intelligent control.
