The Applications of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) are widely used as can be seen in both commercial and military purposes. As the main design aspect of the hull is to endure the harsh sea condition where is not the human friendly environment, the hull performance in waves is the main area which needs a special investigation. This paper presents the study of the hull performance for three different hull geometries. These hulls are Deep Vee (DV), high-slenderness hull (NPL 5b) and the Royal Thai Naval Dockyard designed patrol boat (T991). Required propulsive power and hull performance in waves are investigated. The results show that the DV model seems to have advantage over other hull geometries.
