The existing maritime cruising system mainly uses manned motorboats to monitor the quality of coastal water and patrol and maintenance of the navigation -aiding facility, which has the problems of high energy consumption, small range of cruise for monitoring, insufficient information control and low visualization. In recent years, the application of UAS in the maritime field has alleviated the phenomenon above to some extent. A cluster-based unmanned network monitoring cruise system designed in this project uses the floating small UAV self-powered launching platform as a carrier, applys the idea of cluster, and combines the strong controllability of the multi-rotor UAV and the capability to carry customized modules, constituting a unmanned, visualized and normalized monitoring cruise network to realize the functions of maritime cruise, maintenance of navigational-aiding and monitoring the quality of coastal water.
