Title: NEW MANOEUVRING SEA TRIAL SYSTEM USING DGPS
Abstract: This paper describes an application of the HISTS new sea trial system, based on Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) for the improvement of accuracy and reliability of manoeuvring sea trials. The whole system comprises the DGPS, data acquisition interface unit, data analysis and display hardware and custom-made software. Sea trial results using the new system are compared with those of conventional sea trial methods and with predicted results of model tests. Based on the results of several full scale sea trials, the applicability and usefulness of the new system are fully confirmed for improving the accuracy of ship manoeuvring sea trials.
