Software and hardware complex for solving problems of autonomous navigation

The article presents the experience of solving a set of problems of designing and manufacturing a small autonomous vessel at the scientific research center of skip navigation of the Admiral Ushakov Maritime State University. The work presents existing developments and ways to develop a small autonomous auxiliary fleet in the field of e-navigation, innovative shipbuilding and digital education. In an experimental autonomous vessel, motion algorithms implemented in an automated control system have been worked out. Successfully tested the original method of control with the help of autopilot. As a means of the onshore mobile control and monitoring module, a set of software and hardware solutions for the built prototype of the ship was developed, implementing original algorithms for determining and adjusting the course. Solutions to problems in the field of autonomous navigation and shipbuilding have been obtained. The results show the good resources and capabilities of this vessel for further use in coastal surveys, mapping studies, navigation technologies, and wiring and divergence algorithms of such vessels.
