Abstract :
The problems of the development of short-range navigation aids as integrated multifunctional systems for the near future while implementing them in poorly equipped regions, ice-breaker fleets, and on remote oil platforms are discussed. Conclusions are drawn about the reasonability of utilization for those purposes of various modifications of the existing integrated short-range navigation systems. These systems provide highly accurate operation, have a convenient rho - theta coordinate system, and are capable in some cases of providing the additional functions.<>
