Study of motion control system of unmanned boat

BACKGROUND: The study may improve the viability, safety, and environmental friendliness of the maritime industry. The development of such technologies is in line with global digital transformation and automation trends and the strategic interests of the State. Research in this area helps develop innovative solutions applicable in various industries—from logistics to national security. AIM: The article discusses the parameters of the motion control system of an unmanned boat, the development of an unmanned boat controlled movement simulation diagram, and how results that may be used to design a specific unmanned boat are achieved. METHODS: The authors used linear and nonlinear functions to control the boat’s motion, developed and transformed mathematical models into structural diagrams. RESULTS: The authors analyze parameters of the unmanned boat control system as part of the study. CONCLUSIONS: The study resulted in the development of mathematical models of the unmanned boat motion control system used to design a specific unmanned boat.
