A system, adapted to determine that automatic docking of a boat is completed. The system including a control unit including a processor configured to switch a control mode of the control unit to an automatic docking mode; output a control signal for controlling an automatic steering of the boat when the control mode is switched to the automatic docking mode; obtain a vibration that is exerted on the boat, wherein, when the control unit is in the automatic docking mode, the control unit is configured to end the automatic docking mode when the control unit detects the vibration.

An inflatable water-based motorised device docking station is described. The inflatable water-based motorised device docking station includes an inflatable tube configurable to form an open ended area to receive a water-based motorised device; a floor area coupled to a portion of the inflatable tube; and a ballast bag with dump attached to the floor area and configured to stabilise the inflatable water-based motorised device docking station.

A sensor detects a shape of a shore arrival location and a positional relationship of the shore arrival location and a boat body and outputs environment information indicating the shape of the shore arrival location and the positional relationship. A controller receives the environment information and generates an instruction signal to control a propulsion device to cause the boat body to move toward the shore arrival location based on the environment information and to push the boat body to the shore arrival location.

A positional sensor detects a current position of a boat body and outputs position information indicating the current position. A controller receives the position information. The controller determines a target position of the boat body. The controller calculates the distance between the current position and the target position. The controller determines a target speed of the boat body to reach the target position in accordance with the distance. The controller calculates the force of an outside disturbance. The controller determines a target propulsion force of a propulsion device based on the force of the outside disturbance and the target speed. The controller generates an instruction signal to control the propulsion device to produce the target propulsion force.

A vehicle is provided for drone stowage and transport as a means to extend the range of smaller drones and unmanned underwater vehicles. The transport vehicle is launched from a mother ship and provides for moving drones and underwater unmanned vehicles to desired launch and recovery points. The vehicle is based on current hovercraft vehicles and is adapted for stowage of drones while remaining compatible with existing mother ships. The vehicle includes foldable deck sections, which can be extended to provide launching and landing runways for flying drones. Lifts and ramps are incorporated for loading, launching and recovering flying drones, floating drone vessels and underwater unmanned vehicle drones.
