The Influence of the Ship Yawing on the Target Tracking Process

Precision of the data obtained in the object tracking process performed by the ARPA systems, depends very much on weather conditions. Main factors resulting from bad weather conditions and having an influence on the precision of object tracking process are ship's rolling and yawing. Results of the experiment conducted in the ARPA simulator, whose objective was to define tracking errors resulting from ship yawing, are presented in this paper.
