Experiments in
Vehicle Following

irtual target-based path-following techniques are extended
to execute the task of vehicle following in the case of
unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Indeed, vehicle following is reduced to the problem of tracking a virtual target moving at a desired range from a master vessel, while separating
the spatial and temporal constraints, giving priority to the former
one. The proposed approach is validated experimentally in a harbor
area with the help of the prototype USVs ALANIS and Charlie, developed by Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche-Istituto di Studi sui Sistemi Intelligenti per l'Automazione (CNR-ISSIA).
The 21st century's scenarios of marine operations, regarding environmental monitoring, border surveillance, warfare, and defense
applications, foresee the cooperation of networked heterogeneous
