HUST USVs are unmanned surface vehicles developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), and by end of 2021, two USVs have been revealed to be in service: [1][2][3]

HUSTER-12S

HUSTER-12S is a small USV designed for surveying and patrol missions.[1][2][3][4] Standard onboard equipment includes differential GPS, inertial navigation system, various cameras.[1][4] HUSTER-12S can operate in either remote control or fully autonomous modes, and has been successfully deployed to demonstrate its swarm capability.[1][3][4] Specification:[1][4]

  • Length (m): 1.5
  • Displacement (t): 0.025
  • Propulsion: electric
  • Speed (kn): 20

HUSTER-68

HUSTER-68 is the larger cousin of HUSTER-12S, and it is 6.8 meters long,[1][5] [6] [7] and like its smaller cousin HUSTER-68, it can operate in either remote control or fully autonomous modes.[1][2] With standard onboard equipment including laser radar, laser rangefinder, fibre-optic gyroscope, HUSTER-68 is designed for survey, patrol, surveillance and law enforcement missions.[1][2] HUSTER-68 is one of the few USV that is capable of launching and recovering UAVs.[8][9] Specification:[1][3]

  • Length (m): 6.8
  • Propulsion: Diesel with pump-jet
  • Speed (kn): 30
  • Endurance (nmi): 120
