Navigation &

Communications Equipment (continued)

The Sperry GPS Core Module is a single-channel, C/A Code, se- quenced receiver, with position cal- culation accuracy to 30M. Latitude, longitude and GMT are available every two seconds on either of two

RS232 Ports.

The Core Module can be directly connected to Sperry Satnav's or

Sperry PCs (or IBM compatible).

Optional interfaces range from sim- ple navigators to integrated sys- tems.

Owners of one of the following satellite navigators will be inter- ested to know that Sperry can up- grade your existing set to a full

Global Positioning System receiver:

Sperry 501TR/GPS; Sperry

SRN501; Sperry ESZ4000; and

SAL4000.

The Sperry GPS Core Module enables the reception and naviga- tion computations from both the

Transit and GPS satellites to be dis- played on your existing system dis- play.

During the transition from Tran- sit to GPS, the 501 TR./GPS will automatically select the best fix source and continue to provide you with total navigation data with no need for time-consuming switching or input coding. In GPS mode, the 501's format will provide continuous course readout and bottom speed at any depth.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA 73113 by telex as well as telephone over long distances.

In addition, a transmitter is pro- vided with an aerial coupler

AT1500, which is completely weath- er-resistant, making it suitable for installation in arctic or tropic envi- ronments.

The receiver and transmitter with the aerial coupler and the telex modem Sailor HI240 form a very effective radiotelex station. Com- bined with the Sailor R1121 scan- ning receiver, it becomes a fully automatic radiotelex station. The system works in an ARQ mode on one aerial.

Furthermore, the new transmitter and receiver are fast enough to have a telex connection on one frequency (Simplex) in the ARQ mode.

The unique principle of transmit- ter, aerial coupler and power sup- plies ensure a high degree of reli- ability, and that high transmitting power is kept even under severe conditions.

The Sailor 1000/B has separate receiver and transmitter units (full

Duplex) and transmitting power high enough for worldwide commu- nication.

STANDARD RADIO

Standard Radio & Telefon AB of

Vallingby, Sweden, offers the

PNW900 Navtex receiver. This

Navtex receiver has dual channels for national and international trans- missions.

All ships over 300 gross tons must be equipped with a new Navtex receiver by February 1, 1990. The

Navtex system, which has coverage in the U.S. ranging from the New

England area to the Gulf of Mexico, transmits 24-hour warnings of navi- gational and weather conditions.

The Coast Guard expects that total

U.S. coverage will be provided by the Navtex system by late 1989.

TELEDYNE

Teledyne Hastings-Raydist,

Hampton, Va., manufacturer of me- dium-range, precision radioposi- tioning systems, has introduced the

TRAK IV system.

Raydist TRAK IV is an improved version of the well-known Raydist

DRS radiopositioning system uti- lizing "atomic clock" frequency standards and state-of-the-art tech- nology to achieve practically unlim- ited user capability in the rho/rho mode on a single frequency alloca- tion anywhere in the MF/HF band.

The new unit is particularly well suited to radiopositioning applica- tions in which a relatively large number of simultaneous users must operate at ranges up to several hundred kilometers with a geodetic accuracy of a few meters. The rho/ rho (circular) geometry makes the

TRAK IV ideal for coastal applica- tions, regardless of whether the coastline is concave, straight, or even convex. The comparatively broad lane widths (typically 100 me- ters or more) make lane recovery much easier than with other phase comparison systems.

The ability to track up to four

LOPs continuously and simulta- neously greatly increases system re- liability. When used with the Ray- dist Director (microcomputer), in- terchecking is permitted between the redundant position data to achieve a statistically desired "best- fit" position solution and a "figure of merit" indication of probable ac- curacy. The Raydist Director also permits op-area initialization so that the correct fractional values of the several LOPs can be established and/or verified in the actual area of operations.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

Texas Instruments has intro- duced a new relative-positioning software package, Geomark, de- signed to process data collected by the TI-4000 Global Positioning Sys- tem (GPS) Navigators.

The Geomark software for GPS provides highly accurate postpro- cessing positioning information from data collected by two TI-4100

GPS Navigators simultaneously tracking the same four GPS satel- lites. 60 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
