The aim of the presented research was to analyze the accuracy indications of three types of compass systems for the purposes of meeting warship modernization requirements. The authors of this paper have made an attempt to compare the accuracy of an onboard standard gyrocompass, a fiber-optic gyrocompass (FOG) and a satellite compass in real shipping circumstances. The research was carried out in the Gulf of Gdansk area, during the preparation of hydrographic surveys on stable courses. Three heading recordings have been taken into consideration. The helmsman's operation and vessel inertia were analyzed and removed according to a spectrum analysis. Transient characteristics and the spectrum analysis (based on the Fourier transform theory and headings descriptions in the frequency domain) are presented. Data, processed using a band-stop finite impulse response (FIR) filter to reduce low-frequency heading distortions, are presented for further analyses. The statistics of errors of the compasses investigated, as well as the spectrum of these errors, are also presented. Based on accuracy measurements, the possibility of using the most accurate heading data as the input signal to the automatic ship control system was considered.
