Submerged Submarine Navigation Aid Study.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to derive a specification for a Submerged Submarine Navigation Aid for the approximately 40 by 100 mi Exuma Sound Operational Range of AUTEC. The Navaid is to have an accuracy of 50 yd for a submarine traveling at a depth between 150 to 1500 ft and at a speed of up to kn. To meet the above requirements, the following items were accomplished. (1) Experimental program. Tests on site and attendant data reduction to determine parameters necessary to the study but with unknown values. (2) Configuration study. Determination of the navigation geometry, system parameters and computer configuration using available data as well as data derived from the experimental program. (3) Operations analysis. Determination of beacon placement, power supply method and growth potential for optimum system accuracy, cost and reliability.
