Relative Motion Compensation Sensing System Study for Cargo Transfer in Rough Seas.

摘要

The effort described comprises the second phase of a program to provide a crane having relative motion compensation for the transfer of cargo in rough seas. The effort on this program was directed exclusively to the relative motion sensing system and included establishing preliminary requirements and generating concepts to satisfy the requests. A trade study was then conducted to establish the baseline sensing system. This baseline sensing system is described in detail. A development plan was then generated for the baseline sensing system which at its completion will prove feasibility of the sensor system.
