Self-steering gear (Autohelm / Autopilot) Satellite television; Software; The Raymarine brand has been on the market for over 80 years. [1] [2] Within this time, their product range has included visual navigation information equipment. Their products work with performance sensors that operate along with intelligence operating systems.
The Casel autopilot was using the then revolutionary photoelectric cells and a system of light and reflecting mirrors on the magnetic compass rose. Its principle is somewhat similar to modern day electronic autohelms, excepting the modern flux-gate sensor for autopilots system. The Casel autopilot, which included an array of green, red and ...
Marine electronics devices include chartplotter, marine VHF radio, autopilot and self-steering gear, fishfinder and sonar, marine radar, satellite navigation device, fibre optic gyrocompass, satellite television, and marine fuel management.
Simrad's is called SimNet, Raymarine's is called SeaTalk NG, Stowe's is called Dataline 2000, and BRP's is called CZone. Some of these, such as SimNet and Seatalk NG, are a standard NMEA 2000 network but use non-standard connectors and cabling; adapters are available to convert to standard NMEA 2000 connectors, or the user can simply remove the ...
The autopilot control panel of a Boeing 747-200 aircraft. An autopilot is a system used to control the path of a vehicle without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators.
Fully manual, partially assisted and fully autonomous flight modes [2] Integration with position, speed, altitude and rotation sensors [3] Automatic triggering of cameras or external actuators [4] PX4 is capable of integrating with other autopilot software, such as the QGroundControl ground control station software, via the MAVLink protocol.
Flight director (FD) modes integrated with autopilot systems perform calculations for more advanced automation, like "selected course (intercepting), changing altitudes, and tracking navigation sources with cross winds." [1] FD computes and displays the proper pitch and bank angles required for the aircraft to follow a selected flight path.
The control panel for the Minneapolis-Honeywell C-1 gyroscopic autopilot, used on B-24 bombers. The gyroscopic autopilot was a type of autopilot system developed primarily for aviation uses in the early 20th century. Since then, the principles of this autopilot has been the basis of many different aircraft control systems, both military and ...
