In this work, we present the directions of further development of a prototype of television navigation system (TNS) for course setting in precision orientation of vehicles during their motion guided by the video and audio information transmitted via radio channel to the receiving onboard instrumentation.
We discuss the issues of precision of TNS-guided course setting and possibilities for TNS and GLONASS/GPS system coupling using digital navigation maps with the ship coordinate determination simultaneously in two independent channels, thus making the ship navigation much more reliable and safe. A key salient feature of TNS is that the ship can be navigated within the line of sight at distances as long as 20 km at up to 1-m SD of cross-track deviation from preset course, and those observations are ensured under the conditions of degraded visibility in the atmosphere.
Capabilities of “Vzlet” TNS are explored for aircraft taxiing, take-off, and landing on the basis of preliminary flight tests. Other potential TNS applications are discussed.
In this work, we describe a prototype of television system of course setting (TSCS) in precision orientation of vessel moving along straight-line directions in accordance with video and acoustic information transferred via radio channel to receiving instrumentation. A key salient feature of TSCS is that the ship can be navigated within the line of sight at distances as long as 20 km at up to 1-m SD of cross-track deviation from preset course, and that observations are possible under the conditions of decreased atmospheric transparency. The components of receiver-indicator and inshore part of TSCS are listed. The main technical characteristics of instrumentation and TSCS capabilities are shown. Prospects of further development are indicated.
