Abstract
Example systems and methods are provided herein for managing a position of a first watercraft relative to a second watercraft during a desired maneuver. Such systems include a memory and a processor, and the processor is configured to determine a desired relative positioning of the first watercraft to the second watercraft, determine a first position of the first watercraft, determine a first position of the second watercraft, and then determine a desired second position of the second watercraft such that the first watercraft and the second watercraft comply with the desired relative positioning when the second watercraft is in the desired second position. The processor is also configured to determine instructions to cause the second watercraft to move to the desired second position and then to cause the second watercraft to move to the desired second position.
