Design and analysis of CentrUMS-ITB unmanned semi-submersible vehicle

The needs of Marine Vehicles have increased day by day according to the utilization benefits and minimum risk during the operation [1]. Some of the main task has proved just only carried by Marine Unmanned Vehicle. One is an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). Which has the ability to do a good observation at sea level or below sea level. This vehicle has a feature in the design, which is where most of the structure placed under the surface, only part of the communication that appear on the surface. This type of Marine vehicle is called the Semi-submersible Marine vehicle. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software is used to analyze its hydrodynamic performance, including the hull and the mast. Bow and stern rudders of the vehicle are designed based on the CFD analysis This paper will discuss the operational requirement background, Design, and Control Operational mode of this vehicle. Some of the detail that become the main characteristics of this vehicle also detailed discussed on this paper.
