The new design of the floating platform using three hulls with a self-manoeuvring system as Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) and capable of collecting the same data as a hydrography boat is needed. This platform was designed with three hulls placed in a triangle position in the form of rudder shape and vertically placed as a slender body shape using National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0012 profile. This provides the low-drag characteristic to USV. The results from the experimental and numerical analysis revealed that a larger configuration distance between three hulls leads to a reduction in resistance of the same speed. This result may help to accomplish the required concept design related to low-drag and minimum power operation.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences}, author={Md Naiem, Mohd Azzeri and Othman, Ezzul Hanis and Maimun, Adi and Ali, Arifah and Adnan, Faizul Amri and Wilson, Philip A and Md.
