Final Presentation NAVISP EL1-055 "Attitude Control of Autonomous Ships Navigating in Ports"

The final presentation of the Maritime Autonomous PNT Prototype (MAPP) project developed by Space Applications Services and Anavs under NAVISP-EL1-055 activity, will highlight its key outcomes. This initiative focused on developing precise GNSS-based 3D positioning and attitude determination, enhanced through multi-sensor fusion (visual, inertial and Lidar) for improved accuracy and reliability in challenging maritime environments. The work explored joint positioning and attitude estimation using advanced filtering techniques focusing on estimating the integrity of the solution. A comprehensive set of field tests, featuring scenarios such as port approach, in-port navigation and docking provided real-world performance data for assessment and validation for future integration into autonomous maritime platforms.

This activity was fully funded under NAVISP Element 1, which aims to increase European innovation in Positioning, Navigation and Timing. Please check the agenda and register for the event to learn more about this project.
