Abstract
Unmanned and autonomous ships are beginning to be actively introduced and operated in various countries, but such ships can only be used for specific tasks. A full-scale transition to autonomous navigation may occur in the near future. Currently, there are a number of factors hindering this transition, such as the lack of technical norms and standards, special educational training, and new business processes. To ensure the safety of navigation, the measures preceding the operation of unmanned and autonomous ships consist in conducting trials, which allow confirming the effectiveness of the adopted technical solutions in a variety of conditions and situations. In this work, the authors conducted a simulation of the full-scale testing process in the waters of Lake Ladoga of an autonomous/unmanned dry cargo vessel using the navigation simulator. As a result, the navigation and maneuverability characteristics of the ship for autonomous mode were determined. In the future, the method is intended to be used for conducting definitive full-scale experiments to determine the characteristics of unmanned or autonomous surface ships.
