An integrated multi-sensor data fusion algorithm and autopilot implementation in an uninhabited surface craft

The paper describes three advanced navigation, guidance and control (NGC) systems each containing different controllers for an uninhabited surface craft (USC). A novel fuzzy linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller is benchmarked against two other controllers. Real-time results show the NGC system containing the fuzzy LQG controller outperforms its counterparts. One reviewer remarked: "The paper is well written with clear statements on its motivation and contributions. The results presented here are promising….". Furthermore M Couch (Martin.Couch@utas.utc.com), Director, UTAS, industrial collaborator, comments: "This is an excellent example of systems integration that serves as a fine exemplar for both industry and academia".
