Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide navigation control and/or docking assist for mobile structures. A navigation control system includes a logic device, one or more sensors, one or more actuators/controllers, and modules to interface with users, sensors, actuators, and/or other modules of a mobile structure. The logic device is configured to receive navigation control parameters from a user interface for the mobile structure and perimeter sensor data from a perimeter ranging system mounted to the mobile structure. The logic device determines navigation control signals based on the navigation control parameters and perimeter sensor data and provides the navigation control signals to a navigation control system for the mobile structure. Control signals may be displayed to a user and/or used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.
