V-Pilot
Unmanned Vessel Autopilot
Integrated autopilot and mission planning control system for unmanned survey vessels. It can be used on small and large unmanned vessels for both inshore and coastal survey and inspection. It consists of an embedded controller on the vessel and a shore side user interface. The controller interfaces to a vessel's existing GPS and propulsion / steering systems. It combines comprehensive mission planning features with autonomous mission following and flexible survey payload interface capabilities.

Description
The design of V-PILOT draws on more than a decade of Dynamic Positioning and offshore wind support vessel monitoring experience gained from Reygar’s BareFLEET and StemTIDE systems. V-PILOT technology has been tried and tested on Unmanned Survey Solutions' Inception and Accession unmanned vessels as well as HydroSurv’s REAV-16 and REAV-40 USVs.
