Real-Time Precise Marine Navigation: Description and Results

Urs Muller, Hans-Jtirgen Euler and Craig Hill

Abstract:	Real-time marine navigation has been available for some time to metre level accuracy, recent advances in GPS technology have allowed centimetre accuracies in real-time. The ability to obtain this order of accuracy in real-time has increased the number of possible applications, and is achieved by processing the GPS carrier phase observable. presented at ION GPS 95, September 12-15 1995, Palm Springs. This paper describes typical marine applications where centimetre accuracy three-dimensional co-ordinates are required in real-time. The Leica System 300 with RT-SKI was deemed as a suitable system to fulfill the requirements of such marine applications. Each of the components of the system are analysed and the results from two different surveys will be presented. The results shown highlight the suitability of the Leica System to provide precise real-time marine navigation.
