Motion sensor MRU

oceanographic researchships

Operating vessels at sea is, by its very nature, a highly challenging activity. In order to undertake tasks such as wave height monitoring, using cranes during rough weather, or determining where vessels are using dynamic positioning, roll, pitch, yaw and heave motion needs to be measured. This is where Motion Reference Units (MRUs) come in and KONGSBERG has been a leader in this field for over 25 years. The MRU is suitable for any maritime operation that requires attitude determination and motion compensation. Kongsberg's range of motion sensors provides high accuracy motion measurements in all dynamic environments. They cover all marine activities, from small hydrographic vessels to large vessels and installations. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR MRUS Motion compensation of single and multi-beam echo sounders Orientation and attitude measurements on AUVs and ROVs High speed craft motion control and damping systems Heave compensation of offshore cranes Dynamic positioning Hydro acoustic positioning Ship motion monitoring Ocean wave measurements Antenna motion compensation and stabilization
