| Marine observation is an important method to obtain information on the marine environment. Real time and reliable observation means play an important role in the information acquisition and processing part of the marine observation system. Unmanned surface vehicle can plan its route independently, navigate independently, complete environmental perception independently, can carry a variety of task loads according to user 爷s requirements, and its line patrol is very accuracy. The unmanned surface vehicle 爷s draft is shallow, and its requirements for the working environment is low. It is suitable for the continuous, long-term and periodic observation of the marine environment in shoals, reefs and high pollution areas, which greatly liberates manpower, saves material resources, and improves work efficiency significantly. Using unmanned surface vehicle in marine environment observation can effectively complement the traditional monitoring methods. Now, it is mostly used in stable water environment operations such as inland rivers and lakes, and rarely applied in the marine field. Compared with manned ship, the technical maturity of domestic unmanned surface vehicle still needs to be improved. This paper will discuss the application technology from the perspective of feasibility, necessity and specific implementation scheme of domestic unmanned surface vehicle in marine environment observation, analyze the shortcomings and areas for improvement of domestic unmanned surface vessels in marine environmental observation, point out the future development direction, and promote the application of domestic un- manned surface vessels in the field of marine observation. |
