Modern challenges related to safety and control in difficult sea conditions require the widespread use of unmanned surface vessels. The thesis justifies the use of a component base that should be part of the proposed structure of the automatic control system for an unmanned surface vessel. Designing an unmanned surface vessel in accordance with the presented structure makes it possible to ensure its safe and effective functioning during mission performance, obtaining reliable navigation data and performing assigned tasks in difficult sea conditions. The presented structure of the automatic control system for an unmanned surface vessel assumes the presence of subsystems: energy monitoring, external video surveillance, as well as control of mounted electrical equipment. The interaction between the components of the automatic control system is implemented via the RS-485 network interface using a controller.
