IMU Survey<br />

PURPOSE<br />

The intention of this survey was to accurately position an Inertial Measuring Unit<br />

(IMU) that was to be installed onboard the Nancy Foster <strong>Coastal</strong> Research Vessel.<br />

PROJECT DETAILS<br />

This survey was conducted on March 10, 2009 at the Old Naval Shipyard in<br />

Charleston, South Carolina while the ship was docked. The weather was clear <strong>and</strong><br />

sunny on the day of the survey. Reconnaissance was conducted, but there were no<br />

centerline marks found as described. Control <strong>for</strong> this survey was based on<br />

alignment cubes recovered <strong>and</strong> a coordinate report <strong>for</strong> a survey submitted February<br />
