Maintainability - Mean time to repair (hrs), often associated with system manuals including, operation, maintenance schedule and spare parts list. Environment - Indicates the expected disturbance conditions that the system may encounter during operation within its life time including Thermal, Humidity, Shock and Vibration, Cleanliness and ...
Enhanced radar positioning is a proposal for a position fixing system in maritime navigation, based on radar navigation.It is the automation of the process of determining own position by means of radar fixing, using a multitude of objects with known position as reference.
Combining multiple observations to compute a position fix is equivalent to solving a system of linear equations. Navigation systems use regression algorithms such as least squares in order to compute a position fix in 3D space.
A local positioning system (LPS) is a navigation system that provides location information in all weather, anywhere within the coverage of the network, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to three or more signaling beacons of which the exact position on Earth is known.
A is the last known position (fix), B is the position calculated by dead reckoning, and C is the true position after the time interval. The vector from A to B is the expected path for plane based on the initial heading (HDG) and true airspeed (TAS).
Although in the days of differential GPS this range and accuracy may appear poor, in its day the Decca system was one of the few, if not the only, position fixing system available to many mariners. Since the need for an accurate position is less when the vessel is further from land, the reduced accuracy at long ranges was not a great problem.
Used primarily as a backup to satellite and other electronic systems in the open ocean. [29] Electronic navigation covers any method of position fixing using electronic means, including: Radio navigation uses radio waves to determine position by either radio direction finding systems or hyperbolic systems, such as Decca, Omega and LORAN-C.
An indoor positioning system (IPS) is a network of devices used to locate people or objects where GPS and other satellite technologies lack precision or fail entirely, such as inside multistory buildings, airports, alleys, parking garages, and underground locations.
