We discuss the issues of precision of TNS-guided course setting and possibilities for TNS and GLONASS/GPS system coupling using digital navigation maps with the ship coordinate determination simultaneously in two independent channels, thus making the ship navigation much more reliable and safe. A key salient feature of TNS is that the ship can be navigated within the line of sight at distances as long as 20 km at up to 1-m SD of cross-track deviation from preset course, and those observations are ensured under the conditions of degraded visibility in the atmosphere. Capabilities of “Vzlet” TNS are explored for aircraft taxiing, take-off, and landing on the basis of preliminary flight tests. Other potential TNS applications are discussed. |
