Soundboat Navigation Equipment and Strategy for Hysurch,

Abstract

This research note is one of a series of engineering reports that document the back-ground studies to be used in a system design for HYSURCH (Hydrographic Surveying and Charting System). It extends the arguments of MIT EAL report RE-28, Chapter IV, to specific navigation system types and one possible strategy for their use in the deployment of soundboats. The conclusions drawn are necessarily tentative insofar as they depend on parts of the system other than navigation devices. The choice of boat type and the choice of depth sensor, for example, will govern navigation methods and strategy.
