This chapter describes methods for the design of guidance systems for marine craft. Open‐loop guidance systems for marine craft are used to generate a reference trajectory for time‐varying trajectory tracking or, alternatively, a path for time‐invariant path following. A motion control system will work in close interaction with the guidance system. Sometimes no information about the path is known in advance and there is no trajectory to track. Hence, if the goal is to track a moving object, for which no future motion information is available, target‐tracking methods can be applied. frequently used method for path following is line‐of‐sight (LOS) guidance. The path‐following controller is a kinematic controller that generates the desired states for the motion control system using the parametrization of the path. It is straightforward to generalize the concepts of LOS guidance to 3‐D maneuvering.
