A MARAD/TSC team has been conducting a program to study navigation and communications systems on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River with the objective of defining technologies and systems which have the potential to increase economic benefits to the users, and support National Defense and National Strategic Goals. An outline of the program being conducted by TSC for MARAD is contained in Appendix G. The first phase of the study identified shortcomings in existing systems, namely dependence on visual aids for navigation, congestion in the communications system, and lack of timely environmental data. The report contains the results of a project whose goal was to define requirements for: electronic navigation systems to supplement visual aids, additional communications capacity and a traffic information management system.
