Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the “Navigator” software system on the example of its solutions for some naval astronavigation tasks using various methods. The “Navigator” System does not calculate only the ephemeris data being the electronic version of "The Naval Astronomical Yearbook". It solves also many standard naval astronavigation problems of vessel tracking and compass correction. At this stage, the system determines the vessel’s location using the elevation method during its simultaneous or non-simultaneous observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars, two non-simultaneous observations of the Sun, and the azimuth method during its simultaneous observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars. Also, it makes compass corrections by Polaris. Tasks are inputted via its graphical interface. Solutions are presented either in the graphical form or as a text of the decision protocol.

AB  - The purpose of this article is to present the “Navigator” software
system on the example of its solutions for some naval astronavigation
tasks using various methods. The “Navigator” System does not
calculate only the ephemeris data being the electronic version of
"The Naval Astronomical Yearbook". It solves also many standard naval
astronavigation problems of vessel tracking and compass correction.
At this stage, the system determines the vessel’s location using the
elevation method during its simultaneous or non-simultaneous
observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars, two non-simultaneous observations
of the Sun, and the azimuth method during its simultaneous
observations of 1, 2, 3 or 4 stars. Also, it makes compass
corrections by Polaris. Tasks are inputted via its graphical
interface. Solutions are presented either in the graphical form or as
a text of the decision protocol.
