(surge), y (sway) and z (heave) directional motionsare depicted. Rotations around the x axis (roll) y axis(pitch) and z axis (yaw) are also taken into account.Velocities are given as u, v and w for the x, y and zaxis. Angular velocities are given as p, q and r. x, y Figure 1 – Unmanned Surface Vehicleand z define positions while the roll, pitch and yaw Sea Fox Shown in AUV Workbench [1]are  ,  and  [6], [11]-[12].“In this assignment, students will step through thedevelopment of the physics based model for the unmannedsurface vehicle system. This allows the students to betterunderstand the vehicle’s movements in 3D as they explorethe vehicle’s model. The students will analyze the stabilityof the
