It is commonplace nowadays to assume that modern technology is rendering inevitable the demise of the traditional navigator—in the commercial shipping world at least—and there is much discussion of what this can signify for the future. Yet at the same time there is no little confusion over what is meant, and will be meant, by the term ‘Navigator’. In the context of the Merchant Navy the truism can be made that all deck officers are navigators, and indeed that navigation has been a prime source of satisfaction to many of them; but very few are or ever have been lifetime navigators to the exclusion of all else. Certainly there are the small bands of hydrographers and specific navigators engaged in such fields as offshore work needing a high degree of accuracy, whose prime job in life this is. But they are a select and specialised group whose existence does not negate the view that for the majority of deck officers their navigation is at best part of a wider whole. So to talk of the demise of the navigator is misleading; no deck officers on merchant ships will be out of a job simply because navigation becomes less important. What they will lose is a most interesting part of their work.

In the design of the e-course learning process, it is proposed to use the concept of a navigation model. This model provides convenient and didactically based navigation through the educational material of the course. The work is based on the recent research of the authors on the structuring of educational content in the form of an e-course content model, ordered in the form of a hierarchical structure of the ontologies of learning elements that make up the course. The navigation model concept includes a set of matrices of relations of order and logical coherence of learning elements and corresponding to these matrices of orgraphs of the sequence of study and logical coherence of fragments of educational content. The navigation model answers two important questions of designing an electronic course: 1) what should be the didactically rational sequence of studying the learning elements in the course that is being created; 2) what logical connections should be established between the individual learning elements of the course in order to ensure convenient and didactically based navigation of the course. The mathematical substantiation of the navigation model is given, its properties are investigated, and integral characteristics are introduced. The use of the e-course navigation model helps to: determine and visually represent a rational sequence of studying the educational material, as well as the logical reference links between its various fragments; provide effective assistance to students in navigating the course; analyze and compare different educational materials, assess the level of didactic significance of various learning elements; minimize the complexity of preparing exercises for training and control tests, and the complexity of training and control procedures for e-learning. The concept of a navigation model complies with the international e-learning standards SCORM and IMS, complements them with specific algorithms for aggregating learning objects (SCOs) into e-courses, and assists students in learning them. The mathematical substantiation of the navigation model makes it possible to automate the design of e-courses.

The artilce considers the English-Russian Navigation dictionary in the context of its creation. The dictionary evolved from a small appendix to a textbook into a separate edition, which is a part of a multi-volume Marine Navigation Course. The Navigation Dictionary as part of the Marine Navigation Course ed. by Yakov Lapushkin was published twice: in 1947 by Nikolay Rybakov and in 1960 by Tamara Rutkovskaya. The representatives of the professional naval, academic, and scientific community, including the well-known lexicographer Alexander Taube, contributed to this dictionary. A comparative analysis of the sources shows the continuity between these dictionaries in their content, design and structure. The demand for the new 1960 version was explained by a rapid scientific and technological progress, as well as by the requirements to take into account not only British, but also American sources due to the increasing role of the United States in the navigation in this period. The need to create a navigation dictionary, including both special terminology and basic commands, was justified in the textbooks by Nikolay Rybakov, and in the preface to the dictionary by Tamara Rutkovskaya by the role that this language played in professional naval communication. Navigators needed a modern English-Russian dictionary that could be used for reading foreign manuals, for communication with pilots; such professional skills should have been obtained in the course of studies. Nowadays, old dictionaries compiled scores of years ago, remain a valuable source of information on the history of the Russian scientific and technical thought and professional communication.

Projektet "På rätt kurs" syftar till att öka sjösäkerheten genom att utveckla och implementera en detaljerad färdplan för navigation och manövrering i trånga farvatten där lots och fartygsbefäl arbetar tillsammans. Studien bygger på tidigare forskning och syftar till att definiera ett arbetssätt för att förbättra samarbetet mellan lots och bryggteam. Genom litteraturöversikt och enkäter riktade till lotsar och befälhavare har projektet kartlagt användningen av gemensamma färdplaner och identifierat förbättringsområden. Konceptet som används i projektet innebär att en detaljerad färdplan delas innan lotsningen börjas. Innan konceptet implementerades gjordes en förmätning, sedan fick medverkande lotsar arbeta enligt konceptet i ca åtta månader innan en eftermätning gjordes för att utröna eventuella skillnader. Resultaten visar att en detaljerad, förhandsdelad färdplan kan förbättra kommunikationen och samarbetet mellan lots och bryggteam, samt bidra till en gemensam mental modell. Rapporten avslutas med rekommendationer för implementering av konceptet med detaljerade färdplaner, inklusive behovet av utbildning och strukturerade rutiner för informationsutbyte. Vidare forskning rekommenderas för att ytterligare utveckla och utvärdera konceptet, med fokus på att förbättra sjösäkerheten och samarbetet mellan lots och bryggteam.

Abstract : This Guide is intended to acquaint the instructor with the basic concepts and principles of the Advanced Land Navigation (ALN) Program. It is to be used in conjunction with the Lesson Plans included in Part II of this volume. It is hoped that the majority of questions that will arise during the implementation of the Program are answered in this Guide. Before giving an Advanced Land Navigation class, an instructor should read this Guide carefully in order to avoid errors in the interpretation of the instructional material.

Introduces the concepts and applications of navigation techniques using celestial bodies and satellite positioning systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). Topics include astronomical observations, radio navigation systems, the relationship between conventional navigation results and those obtained from GPS, and the effects of the security systems, Selective Availability, and anti-spoofing on GPS results. Laboratory sessions cover the use of sextants, astronomical telescopes, and field use of GPS. Application areas covered include ship, automobile, and aircraft navigation and positioning, including very precise positioning applications. From the course home page: Course Description The development of the Global Positioning System (GPS) started in the 1960s, and the system became operational in 1992. The system has seen many diverse applications develop in the last few years with the accuracy of positioning ranging from 100 meters (the civilian restricted accuracy requirement) to 1 millimeter (without the need for a security clearance!) In this course we will apply many of basic principles of science and mathematics learnt at MIT to explore the applications and principles of GPS. We also use GPS and other equipment in the class (and outside on Campus) to demonstrate the uses of this system.

This item is part of the Navigation Research Collection. The Navigation Research Collection documents navigation instruments and the methods used to develop them. Instruments include: a radio compass developed by Frederick A. Kolster that enabled a ship to establish its position by determining with high accuracy the direction of sending station signals; and a tuned reed course indicator used with a radio beacon that gave an aircraft pilot a visible indication of whether he was on course.
