Estimating the term…
A system for controlling a watercraft includes a satellite positioning sensor, a remote sensor, and a controller. The satellite positioning sensor detects a position of a watercraft based on radio waves transmitted from a satellite. The remote sensor detects a position of a target object. When the satellite positioning sensor receives the radio waves transmitted from the satellite, the controller is configured or programmed to obtain the position of the watercraft detected by the satellite positioning sensor and execute a normal automated navigation such that the watercraft is moved along a predetermined navigation route. The controller is configured or programmed to obtain the position of the target object detected by the remote sensor during navigation of the watercraft, and execute a temporary automated navigation to move the watercraft toward the target object when the satellite positioning sensor is interrupted from receiving the radio waves transmitted from the satellite.
A system for controlling a watercraft, the system comprising:
A method of controlling a watercraft including a satellite positioning sensor and a remote sensor, the satellite positioning sensor being configured to detect a position of the watercraft based on radio waves transmitted from a satellite, the remote sensor being configured to detect a position of a target object that is located in a moving direction of the watercraft, the method comprising:
