Shipboard Navigation

Frank Criste, Steven Ganop

Abstract:	Navy battleforce tactics have become so complex and pervasive that traditional surface ship navigation suites can no longer adequately support modern warfare. Integrated navigation capabilities utilizing computer processing to blend and calibrate individual navigation sources will provide a best single source of continuous shipboard navigation data. The Navy has both a near-term solution to integrated navigation, being addressed through an Operational Requirement (OR), and a long-term optimization of navigation similar source integration (NAVSSI) being addressed by a Tentative Operational Requirement (TOR). The response to the TOR will be a Navy Development Options Paper (DQP) which describes various alternatives for meeting the stated requirements. This paper presents an overview of potential functions to be incorporated in the NAVSSI system selected for development. It also includes several options for hosting the system software.
