Abstract
The extension of man's capabilities to explore the ocean depths and to utilize the abundant resources contained therein is one of today's most challenging technological problems. The difficulty in accurately keeping track of position on or under the wide expanses of the sea is one of the significant aspects of this endeavor. Specifically, precise navigation is an absolute necessity for such operations as the search for and recovery of objects from the ocean floor. The design of integrated marine guidance, navigation, and control systems is an outgrowth of aerospace technology adapted to inner space missions. The impact of mission requirements upon the synthesis of guidance, navigation, and control in deep submergence and space systems is illustrated by a comparative study of the Apollo and the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle.
