This paper presents the development of the C-Enduro unmanned maritime surface vehicle (USV) and the collision avoidance algorithms for the sense and avoid system. The USV is designed to operate at sea for extended periods of time (up to 3-months) but also have the capability to transit for a short range at high speeds. The collision avoidance algorithms which also take COLREGS rules into account were validated in simulation.
