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 ...
Due to reorganizations in 1993 and 1998, the current Raymarine - at the time still under the name of the parent company - was created. In January 2001, Raymarine was formed when the division was acquired in a management buy-out backed by Hg. [4] In December 2004 the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange quadrupling Hg's investment. [5]
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.
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.
A fluxgate inclinometer/compass. The basic fluxgate compass is a simple electromagnetic device that employs two or more small coils of wire around a core of highly permeable magnetic material, to directly sense the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.
A typical shipboard ARPA/radar system. A marine radar with automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) capability can create tracks using radar contacts. [1] [2] The system can calculate the tracked object's course, speed and closest point of approach [3] (CPA), thereby knowing if there is a danger of collision with the other ship or landmass.
An Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) is a key component of the integrated Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS), which supplies air data (airspeed, angle of attack and altitude) and inertial reference (position and altitude) information to the pilots' electronic flight instrument system displays as well as other systems on the aircraft such as the engines, autopilot, aircraft ...
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.
