Abstract:
Apparatus for determining and displaying the angular position of a water craft relative to a fixed underwater location, and a method for determining distances therebetween if the depth of the fixed location is known. The apparatus comprises a directional receiver and circuitry on the water craft for determining the azimuth and depression angle of a sonar source at the fixed location relative to the water craft, and means for displaying these angles independently on a polar coordinate system.
