Annotation: Digitalization of technological processes on ships using the tools of modern computing systems allows solving important technical problems at a qualitatively new level, improving information support and monitoring of the technical condition of ships and ship technical systems based on dynamic observers and evaluators. A method for synthesizing observers for a ship's course control system based on the theory of modal regulators is considered. The models for assessing the operational performance of ship control systems are based on the application of a generalized mathematical model, which can take various forms depending on the influence of numerous factors on its structure and parameters.
