Abstract
The U.S. Navy, through a contract with MYSTECH ASSOCIATES, INC., has developed an advanced proto-type navigational system called MATCH-NAV, which utilizes a mini-computer to provide automated own-ship geographic position in inshore, coastal navigation situations. Conceptual development of MATCH-NAV has demonstrated the capability to provide ownship position display on digitized nautical charts, with overlay of the chart data on a radar Plan Position Indicator (PPI). Future plans include utilization of the MATCH-NAV concept in design of a completely automated Ownship Position Display having stored nautical chart capability, which can accept navigational data inputs from such ship's sensors as Loran-C, Omega, radar and other precision electronic navigation systems, including satelite systems. The goal—to provide continuous, accurate, real-time visual display of ship's position in restricted coastal waters. This paper discusses the MATCH-NAV concept and its potential applications in future inshore navigation.
