Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are self contained unmanned untethered vessels that can transit on the surface of the water autonomously or through remote control. FAU has designed a multi-purpose oceanographic and GATEWAY USV that is a low cost mobile surface platform. Since standard GPS receivers are unable to provide the rate (0.5Hz) or precision required when used on a small vessel, a high rate (128Hz) and high precision position and orientation measurement system is developed. The system integrates a motion measurement package (the focus of this work) to aid in navigation, control, and enhances acoustic performance. The onboard sensors, including an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), provide oceanographic measurements.
