Real-Time Wave and Current Monitoring to ensure safety at sea!
Furuno has harnessed the power and sensitivity of the FAR22x8 and FAR3000 Radars to provide real-time monitoring and analysis of waves and currents on the sea surface. WV100 Wave Analyzer PC software works with both X-Band and S-Band Radars to analyze and display wave data on both the Radar screen and a PC display. Knowing the wave height, direction, and period is critical for guaranteeing the security of crew and cargo in heavy seas, for providing the most efficient navigation, and for managing port traffic safely and with ease.
WV100 software utilizes an automatic adjustment function, freeing the user from re-calibration if there is a change in sea state. WV100 software provides real-time data in both graphic and numeric formats. The Wave Spectrum Display uses a color range to indicate the relative intensity of waves, allowing the user to understand the situation at-a-glance, while the Radar Echo Display shows the absolute intensity of the Radar's reflection from each wave using a 7-color spectrum. Data-sharing between ship and shore as well as between vessels allows for quick course adjustment, economical route planning, and efficient traffic management around ports where monitoring of sea conditions is required.
Critical Data for Safe Navigation
Precise wave height measurement is critical for optimizing a safe and pleasant voyage for passengers and crew, allowing the navigator to set their course to avoid dangerous pitching and rolling, and for preventing or reducing damage to both ship and cargo due to inclement weather. Having accurate wave and current information in real-time is essential for offshore construction. The system can be used with both X-Band and S-Band Radars, so when X-Band proves inefficient due to heavy rainfall, the system can easily switch to the S-Band Radar. Accurate wave data can be exported via serial transmission to an external compatible system, such as an automated weather reporting or dynamic positioning system.
The safety of life and of ships at sea is the most important priority, and WV100 PC software provides the real-time analysis of sea conditions that allow skippers to make those important decisions based on the most accurate information available.
