An Integrated Approach to Electronic Navigation

Abstract

While the Global Positioning System (GPS) is and will continue to be an excellent navigation system, it is neither flawless nor is it the only system employed in the navigation of today's seagoing warfighters. The modern warfighter must operate with dominant maneuverability, precision engagement capability, full-dimensional protection, and focused logistics. To meet these requirements, an integration of independent, self-contained, self-initiated, and externally referenced systems must be realized. The Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) AN/SSN-6 (V) provides this capability through the real-time collection, processing, and distribution of accurate and reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data from varied shipboard sensors and systems. NAVSSI adds to this an electronic navigation capability that provides the ship navigation team with route planning, route monitoring, and safety of navigation capabilities.
