The article discusses the design of microcontroller control unit for actuators of marine vehicle "Neptune". Functions of the control unit and its interconnections with the other functional elements of the vehicle is described. Emergency remote control mode is presented in details. Paper contains description of hardware and software implementation of the control unit. The efficiency of the proposed design is proved by the results of experiments in which authors measured dependencies between the parameters issued by the autopilot and the appropriate control signals applied to the actuators of autonomous vehicle.

Keywords: control unit, actuators, control system, microcontroller board, remote control.
