Straight-Line Target Tracking for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Open accessAbstract
This paper considers the subject of straight-line target tracking for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs).Target-tracking represents motion control scenarios where no information about the target behavior is known in advance, i.e., the path that the target traverses is not defined apriori.Specifically, this work presents the design of a motion control system which enables an underactuated USV to track a target that moves in a straight line at high speed.The motion control system employs a guidance principle originally developed for interceptor missiles, as well as a novel velocity controller inspired by maneuverability and agility concepts found in fighter aircraft literature.The performance of the suggested design is illustrated through full-scale USV experiments in the Trondheimsfjord.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
