In the field of maritime autonomous navigation, although there have been many studies and practices, there are still many key problems to be solved. The core research question is: How to construct, integrate, and verify a new type of efficient and reliable maritime autonomous navigation decision-making system to ensure the safe and intelligent navigation of ships in the complex and changeable marine environment? Specifically, it can be broken down into the following sub-questions: First, how to establish a decision-making system model that can accurately simulate the dynamic changes of the marine environment (such as weather conditions, ocean current situations, and channel conditions), the characteristics of the ship itself (navigation performance, equipment status), and the behaviors of surrounding ships, enabling it to have the ability to accurately perceive and predict navigation risks? Second, during the system integration process, how to achieve the efficient fusion and processing of multi-source heterogeneous data (sensor data, satellite communication data, electronic chart data, etc.) to ensure that the decision-making system can obtain reliable information in real-time and stably?
