Overview

Evaluation reveals challenges of using uncrewed vessels for bathymetric mapping, indicating GNSS performance impacts results.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the performance of a small uncrewed surface vessel for bathymetric mapping applications.
  • Conducted extensive testing in lakes and rivers around Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • Aggregated data from 41 hours of testing at 10 unique locations.
  • Integrated a first-person-view (FPV) camera system on the vessel.
  • Provided statistics on battery consumption and signal quality of GNSS receiver.
  • Analyze vehicle handling characteristics and different deployment modes.
