AUTOFLEX D4.3: Uncrewed Vessel Basic Design – Oskar 2.0

Deliverable D4.3 presents the basic design and hydrodynamic optimization of the AUTOFLEX vessel, building on the concept from Task 4.2 to create “Oskar 2.0” – a refined, energy-efficient design validated through numerical simulations and physical model testing. Design Development and Optimization Methodology The design evolved through a multi-stage optimization process: Hull Form Optimization involved two […]

Mission Exchange Model

Mission Exchange Concept. Exchange between the unmanned vessel, the remote operation centre and the surrounding environment.

The Mission Exchange Model: Advancements in Autonomous Vessel Operations The Mission Exchange Model (MEZ) represents a significant advancement in the operation of autonomous vessels on inland waterways (IWW), developed as part of the AUTOFLEX project. This model establishes a structured communication framework between the Remote Operation Centre (ROC) and the onboard Autonomous Navigation System (ANS), […]
