Visual simulation of unmanned surface vehicle in MFC framework based on vega

Abstract

According to the characteristic of unmanned surface vehicle(USV) based on water-jet propulsion, four-degree of freedom maneuvering motion equation was established. External forces acting on USV were divided into gravity, buoyancy, inertial hydrodynamic force, viscous hydrodynamic force, dynamic lift force and water-jet force. Besides MFC frame, Creator and Vega were adopted. Maneuvering simulation was obtained. Explosion simulation in the USV combat was modeled. By use of mouse, the model of position between observer and player in Vega was also established. With enough mathematic models and methods of visual simulation, the combat platform of USV is presented vividly, which is good for our further research.
