Basic DP Principles
A dynamic positioning (DP) control system automatically calculates the forces that the thrusters, propulsors and steering gear must produce in order to control the vessel’s position and heading
The DP control systems algorithm's will generate control signals to the thrusters, propulsors and steering gear to obtain the force and moment required for the requested position and heading control

Thrusters and rudders
Position measurement
