Long-Term Accuracy in Sea Navigation without using GNSS Systems

Abstract
Many ships today rely on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), for their navigation, where GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most well known. Unfortunately, the GNSS systems make the ships dependent on external systems, which can be malfunctioning, be jammed or be spoofed. There are today some proposed techniques where, e.g. bottom depth measurements are compared with known maps using Bayesian calculations, which results in a position estimation. Both maps and navigational sensor equipment are used in these techniques , most often relying on high accuracy maps, with the accuracy of the navigational sensors being less important. Instead of relying on high accuracy maps and low accuracy navigation sensors, this paper presents an... (More)
Many ships today rely on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), for their navigation, where GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most well known.

There are today some proposed techniques where, e.g. bottom depth measurements are compared with known maps using Bayesian calculations, which results in a position estimation. Both maps and navigational sensor equipment are used in these techniques , most often relying on high accuracy maps, with the accuracy of the navigational sensors being less important. Instead of relying on high accuracy maps and low accuracy navigation sensors, this paper presents an idea of the opposite, namely using low accuracy maps, but compensating this by using high accuracy navigational sensors and fusing data from both bottom depth measurements and magnetic
field measurements. (Less)
