Calculators for Marine Navigation
Journal of Navigation, 1981This paper, which was presented at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute in London on 18 March 1981 with Dr J. F. Kemp in the Chair, outlines the scope for using modern programmable hand-held calculators at sea, discusses the functions and facilities required for navigation and describes some of the models now available.For many years the basic ...

Journal of Navigation, 1983
Seafaring has always been an occupation which exposes the seafarer to more than an ordinary degree of risk, and a significant part of that risk arises from his inability always to know his position with sufficient accuracy as and when needed. This lack of precision has always had a fundamental impact on the practice of navigation, the development of ...

Offshore Technology Conference, 1970
ABSTRACT In certain types of offshore operations, particularly minerals exploration, there is a need for a small fully automatic navigation system which presents position data in such a form that it can be used to steer the vessel without need for further computation or reference to specially prepared charts. Such a

PROBLEMS OF MARINE NAVIGATION*
Navigation, 1949The problems of Marine Navigation go far beyond the actual working of navigation problems and I would like to present the story of the Deck Officer in the Merchant Marine and his duties as they are carried out on board a merchant ship. The Merchant Marine is the term applied to all ships of a nation that are owned or operated by private industry and ...

Navigation, 1964
a navigation system based upon the Navy's low-drift, high-precision, Electrically Suspended Gyros has been demonstrated to have surprisingly low error over long periods of time. By taking full advantage of this experience and other recent advances in the electronics art, a new, all-weather, non-radiating, automatic system is now possible.

Decision Support System in Marine Navigation
2016The article presents basic functionalities of a navigational decision support system used in collision situations, illustrated with example performance of the NAVDEC system. Other similar systems have been characterized. The authors draw attention to the need to introduce legal regulations for the construction and operation of navigational decision ...

The state‐of‐the‐art in marine navigation
Marine Geodesy, 1981Abstract The art and science of navigation date back to antiquity. Beginning with procedures one step removed from black magic, navigation has progressed through the refined skill of the celestial navigator, the explosive development of electronic systems after the Second World War, to the artificial celestial system NAVSTAR GPS.

ACCURACY OF MARINE NAVIGATION*
Navigation, 1951Modern navigation might be dated from the invention of the marine sextant in 1734, followed by the invention of the marine chronometer in 1766. These developments made it possible to determine longitude as well as latitude at sea. The steady developments of nautical tables, almanacs, and the further refinements of sextants and timepieces gave an ...
