Demonstrating a Moving-Map System With Electronic Charts for Improved Lane Navigation: Testing on AAVs in Gulfport, MS

Abstract

Amphibious landing operations that are being conducted in a mined environment require the use of navigation lanes that have been cleared of mines. The amount of time required to clear mines is determined by the width of the lanes to be cleared where lane width is determined by the ability of the assault craft to successfully navigate within a cleared lane (i.e., its lane navigation capability). Therefore, vehicles with stronger navigation capabilities allow more narrow lanes to be cleared. This project is based on the premise that a moving map (MM) capability will facilitate more precise lane navigation, thereby reducing aggregate lane width requirements for mine clearance.
