Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) TERCOM is an algorithm that analyses the mean absolute distance by matching the distance between the map depth and the measured depth, as explained by (Carreno, 2010). With TERCOM, the measurements from a certain profile along the trajectory are processed in batch, but it may also be run recursively. The method indirectly assumes constant position offsets from the INS position each time it is started. Point Mass Filter (PMF) PMF is a calculation that determines…

Ultrasounds, also known as ultrasound or sonography, is a type of moving sound pressure wave. An ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure that allows us to see through the layers of skin of to see a person’s anatomy. Most ultrasounds are done using a sonar device outside your body, sending waves into your body. Though, some devices are used for the inside of your body. An ultrasound sends out high frequency sound waves, that are directed at the part of the body that is being looked at by the…

also convince someone else about what happens in the triangle. Personally, I think the Large Wave theory is more likely than the Methane Crystal theory. This is because of stronger evidence and more often large waves have been seen in person or on sonar in comparison to methane crystals. But even though I think the Large Wave theory is more likely, many theories are available for people to read about, and it will always create speculation for the Bermuda Triangle. And while I believe in the…

at risk of losing their lives while they are a part of the Navy.

They are trained as well as drones are programmed to find these underwater trouble spots. Although,…

This monster is according to Dictionary.com “a large aquatic animal resembling a serpent or a plesiosaur like a reptile, reported having been seen in the waters of Loch Ness, Scotland…” Much of the evidence that supports the Loch…
