Abstract :
This paper focuses on the process of selecting hardware for use in the design of a small autonomous surface vessel design. Hull form, powering and instrumentation are discussed, with hardware specifications and performance data. Existing mathematical models appropriate for the vessel are outlined and a discussion of model identification using traditional and in situ methods is presented
