In response to operator training and risk management research for surface vehicles entering wind farms, the prototype development of the Training Model Unmanned Surface Vehicle (Training USV) is conducted.

Design Features

The twin lower hulls are 2m long and 1.5m wide. A surface sensor (anemometer) is installed at the front of the upper hull. Inside the hull, there are 3 square slots for installing control mechanisms. The lower hull features 4 removable battery compartments, providing a continuous endurance of up to 8 hours.

Technical Specifications

Hull Size	2 x 1.5m
Displacement	90kg (including flight platform + UAV)
Cruising / Working Speed	USV: 1~3 knots (5.5 km/h) With UAV: Under 1 knot in still water (1.85 km/h)
Endurance	8hr / 2hp x 2
Payload Equipment	Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, under 15kg) Flight Platform Metocean Sensors

Technical Highlights

• Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV / Relay Platform): The USV can be equipped with a flight platform to carry one Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
• Safe Working Conditions: The USV operates at a maximum of Sea State 1 (wave height approx. 0.1~0.3m). Collaboration with the UAV is restricted to still water operations.
• Operating Mode: Restricted to indoor pools (or regulated safe still-water areas) for operational drills and training missions.
• Communication & Control: Primarily controlled by operators at the poolside. The antenna uses RFD900x and 2.4GHz communication modules for connection, utilizing point-to-point WIFI line-of-sight control tailored for pool environments.
