Description

One of the main aims of the Research & Radionavigation Directorate (R&RNAV) is to review the possibilities of allowing the mariner to continue navigation in the event of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) failure. As such, it is envisaged that visual or near-visual signalling will continue to be an important part of the resilient positioning and navigation solution at sea.
R&RNAV has two projects that require the engagement of services of an external, authoritative, maritime navigation expert for additional support in providing a summary of the state-of-the-art in the visual signalling and machine vision technologies.
