Fundamentals of the Maneuvering Board (Part 3 - Avoidance and Intercept)

Part 3 of Fundamentals of the Maneuvering Board examines how to avoid a contact by a certain distance, or how to intercept the contact in case of search and rescue or law enforcement.

Thanks for the refresher. This is exactly what I needed to help prove why a USV's obstacle avoidance algorithms aren't being smart.

Those heavy seas videos brought be back to patrolling the Hague Line on the Tamaroa.

Speed would be the 5:1 scale correct?

NAV TRNG: Older documentaries show Navy pilots, WWII- take off, fly a recon sector in search of enemy vessels and return to their carrier( which is not where it was since the carrier has been underway )some returning aircraft could not guide in on a beam from the carrier due to electronics being shot up by enemy gun fire and due to fuel limitations HAD to find the carrier. Q: Would the maneuvering board above be applicable to solving the Nav problem-(search and return) to a moving ship or would the pilots/navigators use a different type of board for their specific problem?

Hi flickchaser, that is an interesting question, I would unfortunately say that is beyond my experience. However I would say that if you know the courses and speeds of any object, you can use the maneuvering board to solve vector problems. Sorry thats not very helpful but thanks for the interesting story!

thanks a lot . ... also good work
