A candidate system for solving fog navigation problems in the Panama Canal is defined. The vessel monitoring subsystem is a shore-based, all-weather, precision ranging system with ranging accuracies of 9 feet (2 standard deviations, 95 percent). A vessel's on-board Control Pilot receives all visual cues and digital data needed for safe and efficient navigation through the Gaillard Cut. Multilateration techniques employing computer-processed precision range measurements between the vessel and each of three or more shore-based interrogator stations provide vessel location, heading and velocity information. Simultaneous capacity is 25 vessels, expandable to 43. Subsystems described include: vessel monitoring, computer, display, communications, marine traffic control, weather and training.
