    摘要: A USV comprises a buoyant hull structure; an MCU coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a VHF radio coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a satellite radio coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a GPS coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a plurality of weather sensors coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a navigation and propulsion controller coupled to the buoyant hull structure; at least one thruster coupled to the buoyant hull structure and configured to provide propulsion; a battery coupled to the buoyant hull structure; a charge controller coupled to the buoyant hull structure; and a solar panel coupled to the buoyant hull structure and configured to charge the battery.
