In the course of the study, identify the capability of a small-scale autonomous craft (ASV) with a technical design concept to perform independently different operational functions. A prerequisite is created for the readiness of the Estonian recreational craft sector to produce ASVs, which brings the need for innovations and smart jobs in companies that generate high added value. ASVs are knowledge-intensive excellence in shipbuilding development, the success of which is based on cooperation between TA agencies and companies with different specialisations.
