SPECTRE remote control autopilot
Conversion from Manned to Unmanned
The SPECTRE remote control autopilot for surface craft (RCAS) was the first system approved for unmanned operation in UK coastal waters by the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency. Based on the proven SPECTRE autopilot board, it is available as a turnkey system suitable for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) and a wide range of autonomous and remotely controlled surface craft. It offers additional functionality including interfacing with navigation systems and with engine and throttle control.
