Overview of s-100 group of standards for use in nautical navigation

New formats from the S-100 electronic nautical charts group of standards, as well as hydrographic and meteorological information and forecasts from the same group of standards, are well suited for the navigation of autonomous ships. Selecting from the full range of interpolation algorithms listed by the standard for each individual map interpolation allows a very accurate representation of the seafloor and river bed. A thorough knowledge of the terrain configuration provides additional information in determining the exact position of the vessel (especially for submarines).The integrated Lua scripting language provides accurate dynamic descriptions of processes as well as expected hydrographic and meteorological magnitudes. Examples of possible descriptions are instructions for navigating a complicated waterway, dynamic hydrographic and meteorological forecasts for expected wave heights at a specific time, intensity and direction of sea currents, wind speed and direction, etc.This paper will present several examples and point out some of the benefits the new set of standards offers for navigation. Possibilities of accurately describing the seafloor by selecting the best interpolation used for the observed position, sailing directions for a waterway written in Lua and hydro meteorological forecast written in Lua will be present. All the examples shown are constructed.
