ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION AND VOYAGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (VMS) – Flashcards

Electronic Charting System

Electronic Charting Display Information System System that is able to display official electronic chart information with automatic position updates that has a built in redundancy that will assist the mariner in all aspects of Navigation.

Compliant with IMO regulations with three additions. - Ability to manually plot fixes - Tactical Ocean Data Function - CO Approval Function

Digital Nautical Charts (DNC) from NGA in the Vector Product Format (VPF)

only 2 types: Raster Vector - We do not authorize Raster charts for Navy use. - In the Navy we use Vector charts. We call it DNC.

- Provides real time position - Automated plotting of ship's position - Reduce manning - Minimizing human error - Alerts for navigation dangers

- GPS - GYRO - WSN-7 - EM Logs - SRN-25 - JOTS - Outboard - Tomahawk - GVRC

Inertial Navigation System available for open ocean only as per the NAVDORM

Navigation Sensor System Interface - primary function is to distribute common position, velocity, time, and almanac data to onboard Command & Control and Combat Systems. - enhances the ability of surface ships to perform navigation, ship control, and combat missions. - provides consistent, accurate, timely Position, Velocity, and Time data to all navigation-dependent shipboard systems

Tactical Ocean Data TOD 0: Oparea, Range and Exercise Charts TOD 1: Bottom Contour (BC) TOD 2: Bathy Nav Planning Charts (BNPC) TOD 3: Shallow Water TOD...new requirement TOD 4: Hull Integrity Test TOD 5: Strait Charts

Automatic Identification System Can process 4500 reports/minute Inputs into VMS and ARPA
