Led by efforts to advance the integration of autonomous technologies in the maritime sector, classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR) and the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO) have entered a joint development program, focused on verifying and validating marine autonomous functions and operations to support a wider uptake of these systems.
As per LR, to ensure the safe application of a number of high-level autonomous technologies being developed or introduced right now, more systematic verification and validation (V&V) procedures must be undertaken.
