What needs to change?

From the VRX manual:

Capability: System should be capable of command and control of USV to achieve a goal state marked by an underwater acoustic beacon. Implementation: An underwater acoustic beacon broadcasts range, bearing and elevation indicating its position relative to the USV, with noise. Teams should navigate to the beacon as quickly as possible. The task ends when the distance between the USV and the beacon falls below 1m. The overall performance for a given run is determined by the total time required to complete the task.

How would this task be tested?

1. Run the VRX trial software for task 4, and ensure that the reached accuracy is relatively low.
