Guidance and control of an autonomous vehicle requires measurement of its position and motion. To this end, the USV is equipped with instruments that include an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), compass, tilt sensor, and Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). The sensor outputs are either analog or digital, as well they differ within these formats. Thus, a data acquisition system is included aboard the USV to synchronously collect, decode, and process all data. A graphical programming language is used to develop the high-level modular program structure and perform some straightforward data processing while much of the complex processing is done with an imbedded low-level programming language. This strategy provides a software package that is quickly able to understand, modify, and transfer data while avoiding writing hardware specific drivers. Addition of imbedded low level programming provides efficiencies when needed. The first section in this chapter describes the instruments and details their performance and output, the second section overviews the data acquisition system and its layout, and the third section provides a high level description of the software.
