Researchers have developed MMUSV-Sim, a new simulation and data-generation platform built on Unreal Engine 5 and Project AirSim. This platform is designed to facilitate the development of cooperative perception systems for multiple unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in maritime environments. MMUSV-Sim supports configurable scenarios, multimodal sensor data acquisition (including RGB, depth, semantic, LiDAR, and radar), and shared annotations, enabling more robust target sensing beyond the range of individual platforms. Experiments demonstrated that early fusion of LiDAR data from multiple USVs significantly improved vessel detection performance. AI
