船舶导航定位系统

船 舶 导 航 定 位 系 统 （Marine Navigation and Positioning Systems） 授课学时：32 学时 授课专业：测控技术 课程类型：指选课 教学方法：双语教学 自动化学院 Automation College 赵 琳 Lin Zhao 1 Marine Navigation and Positioning Systems Marine navigation blends both science and art. A good navigator gathers information from every available source, evaluates this information, determines a fix, and compares that fix with his pre-determined “dead reckoning” position. A navigator constantly evaluates the ship’s position, anticipates dangerous situations well before they arise, and always keeps “ahead of the vessel.” The modern navigator must also understand the basic concepts of the many navigation systems used today, evaluate their output’s accuracy, and arrive at the best possible navigational decisions. Navigation methods and techniques vary with the type of vessel, the conditions, and the navigator’s experience. Navigating a pleasure craft, for example, differs from navigating a container ship. Both differ from navigating a naval vessel. The navigator uses the methods and techniques best suited to the vessel and conditions at hand. Some important elements of successful navigation cannot be acquired from any book or instructor. The science of navigation can be taught, but the art of navigation must be developed from experience. What will we learn from the lecture? ➢ Some basic knowledge on earth, coordinate, nautical chart, dead reckoning, landmark fixing and so on; ➢ Some basic principle of navigation systems, such as celestial navigation, radio navigation, radar navigation, satellite navigation, inertial navigation, integrated 2 navigation system, and so on. Can you tell the difference among: Navigation: Guidance...
