This limited its endurance and seakeeping. Conference in Quebec City a series of review papers were The field operations of ARTEMIS were limited to the requested from OES technical committee chairs. In response to that request this paper provides a review of the field of Charles River, a region of limited scientific interest. To unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and autonomous surface produce an ASC with more useful capabilities a kayak craft (ASCs). platform was examined and converted into an ASC. This new vehicle underwent a series of trials on the Charles River. The paper discusses the enabling technologies that have allowed It was then fitted with acoustic tracking systems and used to USVs to emerge as a viable platform for marine operations as follow a tagged fish.[2]. well as the application areas where they offer value. The paper tracks developments in technology from early systems developed by the author in 1993 through the latest deve
