Challenge: GPS disturbance and its impact on bridge equipment

Overview

In this lab, you will explore how various bridge systems and equipment can be affected by GPS disturbances. Through nine different tasks, your objective is to determine whether a specific system or piece of equipment is impacted by a GPS disturbance. By completing these tasks, you will improve your ability to recognize GPS disturbances and gain a better understanding of how they can manifest in onboard systems.

Objectives

 

• Understand which bridge systems and equipment can be affected by GPS disturbances.
• Learn to identify signs that a vessel is experiencing a GPS disturbance.
• Understand the impact of GPS disturbances on various onboard systems and equipment.
• Develop the ability to evaluate whether specific systems are functioning correctly during a GPS disturbance.
