Global Positioning System
FURUNO GP-150 is a GPS navigator designed for the SOLAS ships according to the GPS
performance standard IMO Res MSC.112(73) and associated IEC standards effective on and
after July 1, 2003. It is a highly reliable standalone EPFS (electronic position fixing system)
that feeds positioning information to AIS, Radar, VDR, VideoPlotter, Autopilot, Echo Sounder
and Sonar.
Receiver dependability is improved by fault detection using five satellites, i.e., Receiver
Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) that shows the integrity status in Safe, Caution, and
Unsafe levels. The status is given with respect to user selected accuracy level, 10 m or 100 m.
RAIM also works on DGPS signals.
