Precision Navigation

Mapping & Hydrographic Surveys provides precise navigation for all positioning requirements.

Key Benefits

  • Real Time Differential Global Positioning System with an update rate of 1 second.
  • MHS computer navigation system Janus provides pre survey design, on line navigation control, data logging of complete raw data sets.
  • Real time on screen quality control information.

Capabilities

MHS adopts the latest GPS technologies to provide precise navigational data to clients. Company positioning systems utilise; (1) free to air radiobeacon differential signals, (2) company differential base stations and VHF telemetry, and (3) wide area solution differential corrections.                                                                       

Capability 1
MHS uses dual-channel, fully automatic beacon receiver electronics for tracking broadcasts conforming to the IALA Standard. The ten most powerful radiobeacons in the work area are located and the closest beacon used. The receiver continuously monitors the integrity of the data received from the differential radiobeacon(s). If excessive errors in the data stream are detected, the receiver automatically switches to a different radiobeacon, if available.
Capability 2
Company differential base stations, utilising VHF telemetry at a frequency of 173.45Mhz are used in remote areas or in specific cases. Positional updates of 1 second.
Capability 3
Wide area solution differential corrections based on commercially operated base stations are accomplished by special software algorithms. These algorithms compute differential corrections that a base station would generate if it were at the receiver's location. This correction is constantly updated, as the receiver moves around, the correction remains at full accuracy.
