Abstract:	This paper describes a test of Real-Time GPS Kinematic Survey System (GKSS) conducted by Shimonoseki Machinery Office (SMO), who belongs to the 4th District Port Construction Bureau, the biggest local Port Construction Office under Ministry of Transport (MOT), Japan. The test was made near Shimonoseki Port in March, 1993. It is the third milestone test of their survey project using GPS which started since 1990. Main issue evaluated through the above test was to resolve the integer ambiguity On-The-Fly on board a survey boat. It was successfully made and as a result, tracking and measurement of height of an antenna on board was made real time. It was confirmed that height of the antenna moved with a range of some 10 cm during the evaluation at sea. While movement of height of the antenna was within 1 cm RMS. in case it is mounted on a motor vehicle used Time for OTF calibration was from 4 to 15 minutes both static and dynamic at the baseline from 30 m to 3 km either on land or sea with available number of satellite from 5 to 7. All OTF trails were successful due to rather short baseline of less than 3 km.
