A Platform for Coastline Monitoring System by Unmanned Surface Vessel

This paper presents a basic experiment platform to monitor coastline using unmanned surface vessel. This platform has two operating mode, manual work for release and automation for patrol. By swarm intelligent formation control and hunting strategy developed, we can use these methods for the monitor platform. The platform contains control system, sensor system, communication system. The USV (unmanned surface vessel) in the platform can patrol to ensure if there are dangerous situations in the area. They can switch mode to suit for different situation. In this paper, we design the platform system and manufacture the USV. We plan to use out USV to prove the platform.
