Development and Implementation of a Remote-Control System for an Unmanned Research Small Vessel

The paper presents the results of the development and implementation of a remote-control system for an unmanned research small vessel, consisting of onboard and coastal control subsystems. The developed system was installed and tested on a small vessel manufactured at the Sevastopol State University. The control system allows the navigator to control the vessel at a distance of 1-2 km, to carry out video surveillance of the situation around the vessel, to control the orientation and location of the vessel. Wi-Fi technology is used to connect the coastal and onboard subsystems. Also, the navigator has the opportunity to control the vessel using a portable hand control panel.
