Abstract
The paper presents a concept of a ship motion control system, which is able to perform a turn along the desired arc. The proposed course control autopilot employs the structure of the cascade system and the Internal Model Control approach, which ensures high quality of operation during course-tracking, obtained by extension to the nonlinear form. The article presents results of simulations illustrating advantages of the tested ship motion control method.
