Summary	The objective of this research is the development of a surface and subsurface sensing, mapping and obstacle avoidance system for unmanned surface vessels to safely operate in riverine environments. This proposal will continue work from FY11 and expand upon prior results to refine sensing, mapping, planning, guidance and control algorithms. In addition, this proposal includes work to leverage the USV sensing and autonomy package for implementation of a helmsman assist system on manned riverine craft.
