Pitfall: Loss of SA and Navigation Safety
Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography
• Digital Nautical Charts DNCs Support Global DoD Maritime Navigation Requirements
• When used in conjunction with ECDIS-N• Reduced Maintenance timeReduced Maintenance time• Exchange of Voyage PlansExchange of Voyage Plans• Alarms to alert mariner to Alarms to alert mariner to

Advantages: Leveraging Technology
Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- HydrographyBuilding the Digital Maritime Domain:Hydrographic Surveys
• Charts No Better Than Data on Which They’re Based
• New Hydrographic Surveys = More Accurate Data• Multibeam/Side Scan Sonar for
Depths, Wrecks, Obstructions, Updated Navigation Information
