  • Abstract
    A controller is developed for underactuated surface ships with only surge force and yaw moment available to globally asymptotically track a reference trajectory generated by a suitable virtual ship in a frame attached to the ship body. The reference trajectory is allowed to be a curve including a straight line. The control development is based on Lyapunov´s direct method and backstepping technique, and utilizes several properties of ship dynamics and their interconnected structure. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
