      abstract = {The rising importance of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs)  in diverse maritime contexts, such as coastal monitoring  and oceanographic applications, underscores the necessity  for a robust simulation environment framework. This need  arises from the limited availability of sea trials and  demands a high-quality simulation setup to test USV  autonomy across multiple scenarios with enhanced visual  fidelity. This paper describes an autonomous navigation  framework for USV in a Marine Robotics Unity Simulator  (MARUS), a high-fidelity simulation environment based on  Unity3D to close the gap. Our approach works on coupling  the MARUS simulator offering water physics and a wide array  of sensors commonly used in the maritime domain with a  Robot Operating System (ROS) to facilitate remotely  controlled USV behaviour and motion for different  navigation scenarios to assess the vessel's maneuverability  and overall performance characteristics.},
