Abstract: 
This paper introduces a mobile ground control station designed for unmanned surface vessels (USVs), which can operate either autonomously or be remotely controlled without human crew aboard. USVs are versatile machines equipped with a variety of sensors, propulsion systems, and communication devices, serving purposes like scientific research, environmental monitoring, and maritime security. A USV is being designed to use for the purpose of monitoring the parameters of Local river. Anacostia river flows through the District of Columbia and passes through urban areas. This has created an atmosphere of pollution and sediments. This USV is expected to explore the depth, location, and volume of contaminants. The Ground Control Station (GCS) is a vital component for USV operations, facilitating remote control and monitoring, thereby enabling autonomous or semi-autonomous functions. The portability of the GCS is highlighted, allowing operators to transport the system to remote or challenging-to-reach locations, expanding the range of environments and conditions in which USVs can operate. This paper outlines the hardware architecture of the system, with a particular focus on the navigational sensors used for guidance and control. Hardware elements encompass controllers, communication gear, and sensors like GPS and sonar. These sensors furnish real-time data about the USV's position, speed, and surroundings, which are crucial for informed navigation and control decisions. The software component comprises control algorithms, user interfaces, and data processing tools that empower operators to oversee and direct the USV's activities. In summary, the paper offers insights into the design and deployment of a system for commanding USVs, with an emphasis on hardware, user interface, and mission planning.
