An unmanned surface vessel, or a USV, is an autonomous boat or ship which operates without an onboard crew. Unmanned surface vessels are valuable for their high endurance and for a range of monitoring purposes, whether for the purposes of oceanography, national security, marine life and marine protected areas, or to increase surveillance of offshore infrastructure. Unmanned surface vessels also offer protection to offshore infrastructure at a time when subsea cables and offshore wind farms are becoming more and more crucial in sustaining national energy demands, as well as national and international communication.
