Preparations
To be fully prepared and set expectations for the tests, a detailed plan was put in place for each scenario, consisting of the following steps:
- Appoint a test manager/coordinator with navigational expertise
- Agree on the purpose of each specific test (e.g. piloting operation, planning navigation in shallow areas, anchorage operation etc)
- Verify with vessel management crew, or other external parties involved, that test could be conducted onboard
- Identify the needs and availability of data for a defined AOI for the specific test
- Request access/authorisation to download & use high resolution data for AOI
- Identify if any specific customisation was required in the S-102 Demonstrator to run the test
- Identify needs for additional personnel & technical equipment (e.g. pilot plug) onboard for test duration
- Agree on reporting of results after the test
