An unmanned surface vehicle, unmanned surface vessel or uncrewed surface vessel (USV), [2] [3] colloquially called a drone boat, drone ship [4] or sea drone, is a boat or ship that operates on the surface of the water without a crew. [5] USVs operate with various levels of autonomy, from remote control [6] to fully autonomous surface vehicles ...

Uncrewed surface vessels, or USVs, roam the ocean’s surface like boats, collecting oceanographic and atmospheric data, but without a human aboard. Operators at sea or on shore can remotely control USVs or program them to conduct pre-planned missions and make decisions with minimal real-time human input.

The Fleet-class unmanned surface vessel, also called the Common Unmanned Surface Vessel (CUSV) and later the Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle (MCM USV), [2] is an unmanned surface vessel designed for the United States Navy to be deployed from Freedom and Independence -class littoral combat ships [3] and intended to conduct mine and ...

2024年7月31日 · Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are water-borne vessels that are capable of operating on the surface of the water without any onboard human operators. Originally created by retrofitting previously manned craft with radio controls, a wide variety of purpose-built unmanned surface vehicles are now available.

2022年7月28日 · What is an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)? Unmanned surface vehicles, also known as uncrewed surface vessels, are autonomous vessels that operate on surface waters without needing a crew or any human to be on board. They fall into two categories; remotely operated vehicles and autonomous vehicles.

2025年2月3日 · Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) are robotic systems that operate on the water’s surface without a human crew onboard.
