This paper presents a concept for a heterogeneous unmanned team designed for autonomous persistent inspection of offshore wind turbines. This team consists of an unmanned surface vessel (USV) and an unmanned aerial system (UAS) operating cooperatively. We describe a concept of operations (CONOPS) in which the USV acts as a ground control station (gCS) for the UAS. The USV shuttles the UAS between...
Many ocean survey missions require an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) to accurately follow predefined paths, and thus, an efficient and robust path following control algorithm is essential for many applications. The Vector Field Method (VF) has been widely employed in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) community, and evaluating this well-accepted method for USVs will be of great interest for USV practitioners...
