5/19/2015 Small USVs

5/19/2015 Larger USVs

5/19/2015 Other USV Types Full Displacement Hydrofoils Sailboats Multi-hulls –Catamaran –Trimaran SWATH M-hull

5/19/2015 USV Strengths Unmanned vehicle specialty missions –Dull, Dirty, Dangerous How does this translate for USV’s? MAXIMIZE Persistence –Increase Payload Fraction Trade-off between fuel and sensors –Improved Seakeeping Allow USV to operate in higher seastates –Increase maintenance intervals –Reduce breakdowns Vessel systems monitoring –Electronically controlled raw water cooling systems Fault tolerant software/programming

5/19/2015 USSV Program Objective –To demonstrate improved operational capability of Unmanned Surface Vehicles by optimizing the vehicle’s performance characteristics for selected missions Clean sheet design Optimize range, endurance, speed, payload fraction, seakeeping, tow thrust, etc. 6.2 program, but focused on rapid “time to market”

5/19/2015 Cascading Vehicles USV are naturally capable of supporting other UV’s Mother Platforms –Small UUV’s with limited transit speed, range, and comm’s –Small UAV’s with limited endurance, payload Refuel’ers Communication links –crossing the divide from under water to above water Control centers –coordinating the operations of several less autonomous vehicles

5/19/2015 SWATH USV LCS requirements currently limit vessel size and therefore capability. What if this was not a requirement? Current USVs cannot fully operate in SS4. What trade-offs must be made to achieve meet this requirement ?
