description This work studies the dynamic positioning (DP) control issue of unmanned surface vessels subjected to thruster saturation, error constraints, and lumped disturbances composed of time-varying marine environmental disturbances and model parameter uncertainties. Combining the disturbance-accurate estimation technique and the prescribed performance control strategy, a novel prescribed-time DP control scheme is established to address this challenging problem. In particular, the prescribed-time lumped disturbance observer is designed to accurately estimate external marine disturbances, which guarantees that the estimation error converges to zero within a prescribed time. Subsequently, a prescribed performance control strategy is proposed to guarantee that the positioning errors of DP surface vessels with thruster saturation constraints meet the error constraints requirements within a prescribed time. Furthermore, an anti-windup compensator is presented to mitigate the thruster saturation and improve the robustness of the DP control system. The stability analysis demonstrates that all positioning errors of the closed-loop system can converge to predefined performance constraints within a prescribed time. Finally, the numerical simulation confirms the efficacy and superiority of the proposed PTDP scheme.
