SHIPBORNE GPS KINEMATIC POSITIONING FOR HYDROGRAPHIC APPLICATION

The objectives of the Canadian Hydrographic Service with respect to GPS utilization are reviewed. A shipborne experiment undertaken in November 1986 and designed to test techniques developed to fulfill some of these objectives is described. The primary purpose of the experiment was to assess the performance of differential GPS positioning on a 10 m survey launch. The techniques utilized and results obtained on the launch are described. Additional tests conducted on a 38 m vessel are summarized.
