UNMANNED SURFACE VEHICLE FOR RTN’s FUTURE WARFARE: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF SUITABLE PLATFORM
Main Article Content
Abstract
Over the past decade, Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) have been developed and applied to a wide range of missions, particularly military operations, in response to the strategic requirements for naval force employment under the Royal Thai Navy’s 20-Year Strategic Plan, the submarine acquisition program, and the operational plans of the Naval Operations Center. A foundational platform designed to accommodate mission modules and AI-based command and control systems has been developed in accordance with principles of naval architecture and integrated with modern ship design techniques. This approach represents a starting point for the systematic development, design, and production of USVs for official use within the Royal Thai Navy in an appropriate and comprehensive manner.
