The invention discloses an unmanned vessel fault protection system comprising a bottom control box, a wireless base station, a satellite positioning module, an electronic compass, a temperature and humidity module, a control panel, a backup board, a serial server, a switch, an image board, a camera and laser radar. The bottom control box is connected with the control panel and the backup board through a serial port line. The satellite positioning module, the electronic compass and the temperature and humidity module are connected with the serial server through the serial port line. The wireless base station, the control panel, the backup board, the serial server, the image board, the camera and the laser radar are connected with the switch through a network cable. The satellite positioning module, the electronic compass and the temperature and humidity module convert serial port information to network port information through the serial server. The switch forwards the serial port information received by the serial server to the control panel, the backup board and the wireless base station. The bottom control box transmits throttle inverted bucket rudder information to the control panel and the backup board and receives a control instruction issued by the control panel and the backup board.
