Abstract

The Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) project is a new system being designed with two primary objectives: processing/distribution of navigation data and the display/operation of digital nautical charts. The goal is for the digital nautical chart to replace the paper chart as a legal means of ownship navigation plotting. NAVSSI will be the US Navy Electronic Chart Display & Information System (ECDIS). The author introduces the project and explores the use of digital nautical charts for ownship navigation with NAVSSI
