Applications Unmanned Surface Vessel Can Be Put To
The use of water vehicles that allow interaction both below and above the water line continues to be used by both learning institutions and governments for many reasons. Unmanned surface vessel is another name for autonomous surface vehicle and the two are often abbreviated as USV or ASV in that order. A crew is not needed to operate these water vehicles like the name suggests. They allow remote operation by an operator at the base station.
The use of USV was initially confined to educational purposes only. They were instrumental at understanding various forms of sea life that little information is known about. Like the present-day vessels, those initial ones also include data capturing, storage, and transmitting systems. Various forms of data that was collected, stored, and transmitted was in the form of audio, pictures, and videos.
Proper use leads to capture of crucial information for the study of certain aspects of the sea. They can be sent deep into the sea to collect research information and then directed back to the shore. Some of the phenomena that are currently known about the ocean are a direct result of assistance and capabilities of USVs. Data capturing happens both on the surface of the water and below.
The navigation system allows for the operator at the base station to direct the machine on its mission. Most of them rely on GPS systems for control, which implies that in case the connection is cut, they could be lost in the sea. The devices have proved to be resilient and more reliable compared to other manned vessels that have been used before.
USVs led to a lot of success in educational research that governments around the world started to develop and deploy them in military missions. They were preferred because they eliminate possibilities of human casualties in military missions. Many navies maintain several fleets of USVs ready for strategic missions in the sea. First generation USVs have therefore been modified and improved upon greatly.
Enormous evolution has occurred in current-day vessels. Features and capabilities incorporated are so many and diverse that most governments have restricted them for military use alone. Popularity of ASVs continues to grow as possibilities of being capable to deliver higher payloads in comparison to other underwater and surface water vessels grows. They have also been determined to be effective at denying access to unauthorized vessels and at the same time thwarting anti-access measures that enemy troops may install.
Current-day USVs have both offensive and defensive capabilities. That makes them good for conducting mine and anti-submarine warfare missions. They can be deployed from any base station. Some have been seen being deployed from the sea from other vessels. However, they can be controlled from miles away on land. The many deployment options makes them more capable.
Even with the many advantages, USVs are not developed or deployed by many navies around the world. Navies that increase them in substantial numbers are mostly from developed countries. The two major limiting factors are high expenses and a relatively short history, which makes less people to be well familiar with them.
