CONT

(...) a amené la société Inspectronic à concevoir, avec la Marine Nationale française, un calculateur d'estime numérisé, autonome, élaborant en temps réel, la position en latitude et longitude d'un bâtiment. (...) Ce calculateur est dit "d'estime" car, si le cap et la vitesse peuvent être connus avec une bonne précision, au moyen de capteurs, la sensibilité du navire au courant et au vent est seulement estimée par l'officier chargé de la navigation.
