Autonomous Vessel

Autonomous Vessel with an Air Look, is a research project that aims to develop autonomous navigation of ships. The system uses three independent sources of information i.e. radar, AIS ? Automatic Identification System and cameras, which can be located on a drone or ship?s superstructure. The article presents the results of testing of an image processing system in real conditions on m/f Wolin.

Operational Aspects

AbstractDeveloping autonomous functions for complex systems leads to high demands on the consideration of dependencies to external actors in the usage phase. In Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), this can be achieved by modelling operational aspects. Operational aspects are model elements and their relationships to each other. In this contribution, modelling of operational aspects with a MBSE-approach will be demonstrated exemplary on a case study related to the development of a yacht with an autonomous docking assistant. Currently modelling operational aspects is not common in the civil sector.

With Memory

This article shows a way to store the data of many S-101 charts into a single Postgres database. The data model of the database with all tables is shown and explained. The concatenation of the indices from the different database tables is explained. This concatenation allows for a faster search of points/curves with certain properties. This fulfills one of the basic requirements for the purpose of navigating an autonomous vessel – that several charts can be interpreted simultaneously by a machine. Mechanisms for up-dating the database with new charts not yet present in the database are shown. Also the mechanisms for updating the charts already present in the database are explained. System limitations are briefly presented to show that in practical use there are in fact none. Memory requirements for such a type of chart storage in the database is compared with memory requirements for ISO8211 files normally used for storage of S-101 charts. With small examples it is finally shown how the stored chart information can be searched specifically.

Autonomous Vessel

In recent years, autonomy has been subject to significant interest and investment within the maritime industry. Several high-profile trials such as Unmanned Warrior 2016 and Autonomous Warrior 2018, have drawn attention to the rapidly emerging and advancing technology. Following the successful operation of 7 autonomous vessels during Unmanned Warrior 2016, L3 Technologies completed a series of demonstrations at Autonomous Warrior 2018. The continually evolving technology has enabled increasing complex autonomous operations to be trialled. This accessibility and enhanced capabilities have resulted in the increased adoption of autonomous vessel technology. Navies around the world have shown much interest in the enhanced military capability that autonomous vessels bring to the operational theatre. It is clear that the technology is available, and the demand exists, but integration into a modern operation warship poses an indisputable challenge? The operating cycle of an USV when hosted on-board a warship can be summarised as ‘Maintain, Deploy, Execute and Recover’. Understanding how the USV integrates into the mothership at each of these stages will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of operating the USV. To fully understand this all aspects of integration should be considered, people, processes and technical interfaces. Two key on-board systems that an autonomous vessel will need to interact with are the combat system and the IPMS. As autonomous technologies become more established and proven, the confidence gained will have implications for its possible implementation on larger vessels potentially leading to fully autonomous cargo ships and cruise ships.
