The current state of the science of marine navigation
IEEE Spectrum, 1964A review of the past fourteen years' work in marine safety systems shows many major advances in fulfilling basic requirements. Characteristics of five complementary systems are compared. There are four basic marine safety requirements that, properly implemented, substantially improve safety in marine navigation and expedite the movement of ships. These

The Future of Merchant Marine Navigation
Journal of Navigation, 1969Although the merchant navy is one of the earliest users of navigation, it is today by no means the most spectacular user, especially in comparison with present-day hovercraft and the coming supersonic civil aircraft. This absence of the spectacular is, however, not due to lack of imagination or progressiveness, but stems from very natural circumstances.

Inertial Navigation for the Merchant Marine
Journal of Navigation, 1970In this paper the history and development of inertial systems for the merchant marine is traced from the gyro-compass, familiar at sea since the beginning of the century, to complete inertia systems and integrated systems such as doppler/inertia.The paper was presented at the Marine Navigation Symposium held in Sandefjord, Norway, on 24–6 September ...

Marine Navigation in the Canadian Arctic
Journal of Navigation, 1952The history of marine navigation in the area to the north of Hudson Straits and west of Greenland dates back to Martin Frobisher in 1567, John Davis in 1585 (who reached N. 72° 15′), and William Baffin, who got as far as Smith Sound (N. 77° 45′) in 1616. All of them were searching for a short route to the East.

Marine Integrated Navigation System
Navigation, 1969This paper describes a new concept for solving the age-old “navigation problem” confronting the conning officer on commercial seagoing vessels. Unlike other navigational devices, this total systems approach stresses the point that in order for a system to be truly effective it must be capable of (a) collecting all available navigational data rapidly on

Inertial Techniques for Marine Navigation
Journal of Navigation, 1960The requirements of navigation entering or leaving harbour or in narrow waters are exacting, and a very accurate position is usually essential. For this reason it is believed that inertial techniques should be applied in the first instance only to ocean navigation as, although the system will give the ship's position continually, the accuracy will be ...
