Naval Oceanographic Office Positioning System Upgrades and Intentions to Operationally Geolocate Bathymetric Measurements to a Seamless Reference Frame

Elliot N. Arroyo-Suarez and Vic Hsiao

Abstract:	During the last couple of years the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) has been evaluating technologies to improve its GPS-based positioning system. In our quest, we began to realize that recent advances of GPS-based positioning had the potential to transform the way military hydrographic survey operations could be executed. New GPS technologies have also prompted discussions on how bathymetric data can be presented and archived. In this paper we will present the operational positioning requirements of NAVOCEANO military surveys, the technologies selected to meet such requirements, and their intended implementation.
