Ship portable pilot unit GuardianPPU™

monitoringpositioning

An independent picture of the ship you are piloting.
GuardianPPU measures its own RTK-corrected position, GNSS heading and rate of turn and feeds them to a repeater display on the bridge, with the AIS traffic around the ship alongside them. Nothing on it depends on the vessel's own sensors.

GuardianPPU works on its own receivers: RTK-corrected GNSS position, heading and rate of turn from its own antennas, and the AIS traffic picture around the ship. Everything is read from the repeater display through the manoeuvre.

Key benefits

• RTK-corrected position from the unit's own GNSS receiver
• Heading and rate of turn without the ship's gyro
