The Future Development of Maritime Differential GNSS

Nick Ward

Abstract:	This paper reports the current status of maritime DGNSS worldwide and considers its likely development and future role. Developments in other systems are taken into account, in particular third generation satellite navigation systems. This is of significance to service providers in planning for the future and to users in selecting equipment. It is concluded that whilst these emerging technologies will change the face of marine radionavigation services in the future, there will continue to be a role for maritime DGNSS in the short to medium term. Its place in the long-term mix of systems will depend on how it develops over the next few years. Various changes to the service are under consideration:different data rates, additional information, new message types. In the longer term new data formats may be introduced, providing higher accuracy and better integrity.
