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. © 2020 PENERBIT AKADEMIA BARU - All rights reserved UR - https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85098181644&doi=10.37934%2fARFMTS.78.1.1122&partnerID=40&md5=eb81609740803a33d20a4c6713a51228 ER -
