This thesis addresses problems associated with development of a real time automated position location system using a method similar to hyperbolic navigation methods. The Automated Position and Control (APAC) project is a joint effort between the Civil and Electrical Engineering departments at Virginia Polytechnic and State University and Bechtel Eastern Power Corporation.xii, 177 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1989.P874Navigation -- ResearchShips -- Dynamic positioning systemsThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-11292012-040204/
