Abstract SWARMON is a project that started three years ago at ENSTA Bretagne. The aim is to provide a reliable positioning system to monitor and referee the WRSC. The WRSC is a competition involving small autonomous sailboats (50cm–5m), so any additional hardware has to be both small and light. The boats cruise near shore, hence the system can rely on cellular network for data exchanges.
