User requirements

Based on the gap analysis, user requirements from the 3 pilots will be established. We will compare the existing processes for a manned with an unmanned vessel and focus essentially on the required navigational and 3D data exchange between vessels and fixed objects. The IMO e-Navigation framework, work from Vessels for the Future, MESA/Waterborne, Maritime21, EU Strategies and International organisations (IEC, ISO, UN) will be used as input. Relevant standards and regulations considered: - IEC 62940: General ship system redundancy and communication systems integration. - IEC 61162 series: Network architecture for safety and security - ISO 28005 series: Data structures and semantics - IMO e-Navigation Both functional (define what a system is supposed to do) and non-functional (how a system is supposed to be) requirements will be established.
