The Development of a Real-Time Decimeter-Level Positioning System Using Global Positioning System (GPS) Technology

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spends in excess of 350 million annually dredging the nation's ports, harbors and waterways. An additional $40 million is spent performing hydrographic surveys supporting the planning, engineering and design phases of this effort. The USAETL has been tasked to develop a real-time decimeter-level positioning system using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to support the Corps hydrographic surveying and dredging operations. This paper discusses USAETL's research and development efforts involved in the development of this positioning system.
