An innovative robotic boat has been developed for performing bathymetric mapping of very shallow coastal, estuarine, and inland waters. The boat uses a small waterplane area twin hull design to provide natural platform stability for a multibeam sonar payload, and a navigation system automatically guides the boat in a “lawn‐mowing” pattern to map a region of interest. Developed in stages over five...
This paper describes the development of the Unmanned Port Security Vessel (UPSV), a small autonomous surface vehicle designed to support maritime domain awareness in port and harbor environments. The UPSV is capable of rapidly producing fine resolution, shallow-water bathymetry maps using a multibeam sonar, detecting chemical threats using an on board mass spectrometer and monitoring oceanographic...
