Abstract
The proposed paper is part of a research program centered on CNR-ISSIA Unmanned Surface Vehicles. It focuses on the definition of good experimental methodologies and practices as well as suitable metrics for performance evaluation in order to carry out repeatable experiments for Unmanned Marine Vehicles. Preliminary theoretical results, validated on field data collected with Charlie USV, are presented.
