Abstract

This paper presents the mathematical model of USMUG. The longitudinal plane motion is developed here. A USMUG is considered and the general kinematic and dynamic model for longitudinal plane is derived. The USMUG is designed to be operated in shallow water applications (no more than 30 meters)[1]. It has main wings, movable rudder to produce control over heading of the USMUG, ballast and sliding (movable) mass to control the buoyancy system and the pitching or diving angle of the USMUG respectively. It was designed to have a simple cylindrical shape with nose cone shape. With the model proposed, we then will apply various control algorithms to obtain the most suitable technique for the USMUG that realizes high performance maneuverability.
