On the surface or far beneath, Nav3D SV guides the way. Outstanding awareness of sea floor and hazards is available in all visibility conditions, even from within the solid hull of a submarine.
 
 
Vessel operators realize safety, operations, and training benefits with Synthetic Vision.
 
 
Harbor entrance requires precise guidance and hazard awareness no captain should be without.
 
 
 

Marine and submarine environments present a difficult set of demands. Synthetic Vision offers benefits for a range of operating conditions and vessel types ranging from aircraft carriers to Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

Challenges for Marine Operators

  • Surface operations in fog and darkness
  • Sub-surface operation in darkness, high turbidity, and windowless submersibles
  • Hazard avoidance both on and below the sea surface
  • Navigation through tight channels
  • Maintenance of adequate leeway near reefs, shoals, and other hazards
  • Limited crew training budgets
  • Mandates to make maximum use of existing equipment

Benefits of Synthetic Vision for Marine Applications

  • 3D display of hazards below the waterline, including underwater terrain and cable crossings
  • Unrestricted 3D views of shore facilities, docks, and buoys
  • 3D display of other vessels based on radar and other sensors
  • Aerial views of your vessel for navigating tight spots
  • Display of shipping lanes, channels, and precise user-programmable paths via "virtual markers" defining a route on the surface
  • Display of submersible and remotely-operated vehicle trajectories with undersea tunnel guidance
  • Graphical depiction of navigation uncertainty, allowing you adequate leeway near dangerous areas
  • Simplified training and ease of operation
  • Integration with existing navigation and gyrocompass equipment
  • ROV control stations with unmatched visualization capability
