HUST USVs are unmanned surface vehicles developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), and by end of 2021, two USVs have been revealed to be in service:
HUSTER-12S HUSTER-12S is a small USV designed for surveying and patrol missions. Standard onboard equipment includes differential GPS, inertial navigation system, various cameras. HUSTER-12S can operate in either remote control or fully autonomous modes, and has been successfully deployed to demonstrate its swarm capability. Specification: Length (m): 1.5 Displacement (t): 0.025 Propulsion: electric Speed (kn): 20
HUSTER-68 HUSTER-68 is the larger cousin of HUSTER-12S, and it is 6.8 meters long,
and like its smaller cousin HUSTER-68, it can operate in either remote control or fully autonomous modes. With standard onboard equipment including laser radar, laser rangefinder, fibre-optic gyroscope, HUSTER-68 is designed for survey, patrol, surveillance and law enforcement missions. HUSTER-68 is one of the few USV that is capable of launching and recovering UAVs. Specification: Length (m): 6.8 Propulsion: Diesel with pump-jet Speed (kn): 30 Endurance (nmi): 120
