Underwater Arctic Navigation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to show that an underwater navigation system can be developed that is technically and economically feasible and of high reliability for long distance under-ice operation. Recent advances in underwater navigation for cruise, exploration and search and rescue operations are considered and applied to the current interest in Arctic waters, where mineral prospecting and oil transportation are potentially important.
The paper was read at a meeting of the Institute held in London on 27 February 1974 with F. A. Haworth in the Chair. Mr. Cestone is from the Naval Ships Systems Command of the United States Department of the Navy; Mr. St. George from the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
