Mission description as opening statement: Test mission for USV waypoint commands, running a simple box. Mission results are added to metadata comments and then converted into a mission report. Date, time, location, author, live/virtual: Ongoing default demonstration Monterey Bay California USA Actual afloat USV operations require a safety observer that can shutdown the robot. This is a Rules of the Road requirement. Don Brutzman Virtual demonstration test Sea state, set/drift, wind, navigation accuracy: 0 0 0 0 Mission, hardware, software, communications objectives: Demonstrate basic USV mission capability NPS has two SeaFox vehicles Simple proportional difference controller in AUV Workbench None Mechanical, electrical, sensors, communications: Version, control, sensors, etc.: TODO: Control and hydrodynamics coefficients need to be parameterized rather than hard-wired into Java classes.
