Substantiation Method for High-accuracy Autonomous Navigation Requirements to Digital Model of the Earth's Gravitational Field. E. S. Zubchenko. – Navigation and Hydrography. – 2015. – No. 39.Ð. 16–24.

The method of requirements substantiation to digital model of the Earth's gravitational field for provision of high-accuracy autonomous navigation is considered. The method is based on the use of spectral densities of model and transfer function of inertial navigation system for calculation of root-mean-square error in determining the position co-ordinates by the navigation complex depending on the duration of autonomous navigation. Results of modelling the error for various values of field model parameters confirming the possibility of obtaining the practical results of evaluation are presented.

Modelling the Scenarios of Collision of Icebergs with the Offshore Oil and Gas Production Complexes. O.A. Gasnikov, K. G. Stavrov, A. S. Bolshev, K. N. Shkhinek. – Navigation and Hydrography. – 2015. – No. 39.Ð. 25–32.

Development of oil and gas fields of the Arctic seas of the Russian Federation is the most complex scientific, technical and organizational-economic problem; it belongs to dangerous kinds of economic activities. Presence of icebergs in water areas of sea deposits generates the special risks caused by possibility of collision of an iceberg with objects of arrangement. The results of computer simulation scenarios of icebergs interaction with offshore production platforms are presented. Risks of such interactions are estimated. It is shown that the proposed technology for probabilistic analysis of dynamic models can significantly reduce the degree of uncertainty in the assessment of the danger of icebergs in the design of offshore structures.

Key words:      Oil and gas field, the Arctic region, management of ice situation, iceberg, offshore production platforms.
