KEEPING AN EYE OUT
Whether underway or at anchor, and with yachts cruising to more remote corners of our Ocean, owners and crew need to be safe in the knowledge that you have clear vision of whatever lies beneath the waves or above
SIONYX
Nightwave is a first-of-its-kind colour digital night vision camera built around SIONYX’s patented Black Silicon CMOS sensor that offers unparalleled <1 millilux moonless starlight sensitivity. This advanced technology displays high-resolution colour images and videos with exceptional clarity, allowing crew to experience heightened visual acuity at night. Unlike thermal imaging, which relies on temperature gradients to create images, digital night vision employs state-of-the-art sensors and advanced image processing algorithms to capture detailed and vibrant visuals, showcasing an impressive level of colour accuracy, contrast and depth perception. Nightwave provides a stable 44-degree field of view increasing situational awareness to spot unexpected obstacles, debris and vessels lending a true-to-life representation of the scene. Users can run the camera through a boat’s MFD via analog or stream to any mobile device that supports Android or iOS through the SIONYX app. href=”http://www.sionyx.com”>www.sionyx.com

WASSP
Based on the proven WASSP Multibeam Echosounder technology, the WASSP Wireless ‘Forward Mapping Sonar’ was developed specifically aimed at superyachts and cruise ships that are travelling ‘off the beaten track’, exploring new areas and navigating into shallow uncharted or poorly charted waters. The portable or fixed WASSP system is mounted on the tender vessel to perform its own high-resolution bathymetric survey of the seafloor and the mapping data is transferred via a long-range wireless link in real-time to the ‘mothership’ where the live 2D/3D map of the underwater seafloor is presented to the bridge crew. The detailed map will give an overview of the depth of the entire area, showing immediately where it is safe and unsafe to navigate. It is also possible to view the hardness of the seafloor material, allowing to distinguish rock, sand, mud etc. to find the best location to anchor. With the mapping performed by a remote tender, it is possible to move into very shallow areas, and map behind coral reefs, islands, etc.

FARSOUNDER
FarSounder’s Argos Forward Looking Sonar (FLS) systems reliably detect shallows and various “in-water” targets including icebergs, whales, coral reefs, and shipping containers at up to 1000 meters ahead in real-time. This data is refreshed on every ping and is displayed in both a Chart View and 3D Omni View. Over the last two decades, FarSounder has been developing and deploying this patented FLS technology around the world. Today, it continues to be the only forward-looking sonar system on the market that provides real-time 3D data out to navigationally significant ranges. Seeing what’s under the water ahead before you get there is essential to reducing risk. Hazards in the water or an uncharted seafloor can cause costly damage. Argos systems can alert the crew to potential dangers before it’s too late. In addition to real-time detection, the innovative software feature, Local History Mapping™, georeferences collected data and maps it on a chart. This allows users to build a real-time 3D map of the seafloor that is updated with every ping. The data that is collected is saved for future use and shown in both 3D Omni View and Chart View when returning to a place previously recorded.
