ABSTRACT:
A system for accurate guidance of a vessel and precise deployment of undea cable or pipe includes cable control sensors for monitoring cable length, payout rate, and cable tension; navigation sensors for monitoring vessel position, heading, and speed; and environmental sensors for monitoring the water depth and current profile. A cable navigation control processor uses data collected by the cable control sensors, navigation sensors, and environmental sensors and compares this data with a predetermined cable payout plan to compute the ideal vessel heading and speed and the appropriate cable payout rate.
