Ship's auto pilot is must necessary the azimuth data, which is supported by a gyro, geomagnetism and GPS compass. The gyro compass is operation of stability & correct , therefore it is used by big size shipping because of high cost. The other side, medium and small size shipping are used the geomagnetism and GPS compass of low cost. This paper have studied that the two jobs are going on at the same time both of there's advantage. Which is asked the algorithm for stability azimuth data on reject methode the defect of respect with geomagnetism & GPS compass.

In the gyrocompass system, the use of the fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) makes this traditional system considerably attractive because it has strong points in terms of weight, power, warming-up time, and cost. In this paper, a novel digital north-finding method based upon an FOG, which can be applied to the gyrocompass system, is proposed. The analytical model for the earth signal of the FOG is described, and the earth signals passed through lock-in amplifiers are modeled. Additionally, a north-finding algorithm using two lock-in amplifier outputs is developed, and the proposed method is organized by the developed algorithm. Simulation results are included to verify the performance of the proposed method.

An autopilot system of a ship is very important for a safe and convenient navigation, which is realized with getting an azimuth data from a gyrocompass, a magnetic compass and a GPS(Global Positioning System) compass. Magnetic compass an azimuth error is generated by a vessel magnetism material such as steels. The magnetic pole is detected by the magnetic field sensor, it does not coincide with the true north, therefore, the detected azimuth data can not but accompany error. In this paper, in order to detect the minimum change of azimuth data which generates errors of azimuth information, a search algorithm using the Kalman Filtering method is utilized. The digital electronic compass is designed with the integration algorithm using the merits of an earth's magnetic field sensor and a GPS receiver.

This paper describes a new estimation method for deviation coefficients, B and C. using only measured single deviation at a fixed compass bearing. At first, some problems in the deviation synthesis with only two coefficients, B and C, are discussed using observed deviation values measured in the four USS warships. Then, acquisition theories and procedures to obtain optimal coefficients, B and C, are expanded and then the efficiencies of the proposed prediction method are evaluated. As results from evaluations, it is shown that the approximated coefficients, B and C, can give optimal approximation to observed single deviation.

This paper describes a new method for the acquisition of deviation coefficients, B and C, using a single observed deviation at a fixed compass heading. At first it discusses some problems in the synthesis of two coefficients, B and C, from various observed deviation values in the four USS warships. Then, new theories and procedures for optimal coefficients, $\^{B}\;and\;\^{C},$ are dealt with and then the validity of the proposed method are evaluated. The result of findings indicates that the approximated coefficients, $\^{B}\;and\;\^{C},$ can give optimal approximation to an single observed deviation.

Resonant-Type Magnetometer(RM) using high permeability isotropic magnetic material is designed to implement Smart Digital Compass. Theoretically, the inductance L of a coil, winding on the magnetic core, is proportion to the change of permeability $\mu(H)$ and, the change values of L can be obtain as the change of frequency by simple Schmitt Trigger circuit. By the use of integrated circuit switch, the RM can be designed with simple circuit and it can provide overcoming the drift by temperature and the variation of operating points in $\mu(H)$ curve. The facts that Metglas 2705M is an optimum magnetic material and ship's permanent magnetism can be obtain from measured values of RM are also known in this study.
