In this paper, the authors describe a time optimal control system which is needed for quick course changing to specified direction, for example, on the path of a narrow channel. Hence, the authors design the system as an adaptive time optimal control one assuming that manoeuvrability is the 3rd order linear system which consists of both steering mechanism (integral element restrained state) with fixed parameters and ship dynamics (disturbed first lag plus integral element) with unknown parameters, and is also maintained the control ability regardless of parameter variation given by outer cause, as wind, current, wave and stain of the ship, and by inner cause, as load or velocity.
The proposed control system has following some features:(i) Reduction of computing time for solving the time optimal problem by new predictive strategy method using a simple algebraical solution.
(ii) Addition of PID controller for overcoming unstability caused by the parameter/construction miss match around neighborhood of the origin.
(iii) Adaptive identification (by Landau's algorism) of controller parameters using the suitable mathematical model to maintain the control ability.
Finaly, the authors show the results of both the digital simulation and the sea trial, and confirm good effectivness by the proposed system.
