  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the theoretical model of an autonomous surface craft (ASC) with respect to the performance of basic sensors usually available onboard small and relatively low- cost vessels. The aim is to define a practical model and the corresponding identification procedure for simulation, guidance, and control of this class of vehicles. The work is supported by the extended at-sea trials carried out with the autonomous catamaran prototype Charlie2005.
