Autopilot navigation system CAT ROT

for shipsGPScomputerized

The CAT ROT is a small and compact pilot unit primarily designed to connect to a ship's AIS pilot plug and transmit data via Wi-Fi to the Pilot’s tablet/notebook. AIS is primarily intended for information, but not navigation. The AIS data format available from the pilot plug does not provide sufficient resolution in heading, nor in a rate of turn. These parameters are, however, vital from a navigational perspective. In particular, if quality predictions are of the essence. The CAT ROT is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the AIS pilot plug data format by generating an accurate real-time rate of turn and providing the missing decimal readings to the heading data via an integrated rate sensor, intelligent processing and advanced Kalman filter integrated into the unit. Features Rate sensor Navigation processor Intelligent filtering Decimal degree on heading, 0.1 deg Reliable, real time ROT, <0.5 deg/min AIS targets Reduced weight (330g) Pocket size (138 x 100 x 25 mm) Low power consumption USB charge Charge during operation Extended battery capacity 18 hours Autopolarity conversion (APC) Access point functionality (Infrastructure W LAN) WIFI connection to pilot tablet / notebook Integration to separate speed and positioning unit (CAT I) Optional built in GPS w SBAS (EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS) Options and Accessories Several accessories for the SafePilot PPU's are available. Applications For use in basic pilotage operations requiring reliable, real-time ROT (Rate of Turn) ⮚ Harbor docking ⮚ Lock operations ⮚ River pilotage ⮚ Transit pilotage
