NACOS 5.th Generation Brochure

NACOS - 5th Generation
Integrated Navigation and Command Systems
Leading the Way...
The RADARPILOT designates the
solution – a radar system including
direct control of a track-keeping
autopilot. By using the RADARPILOT
1100 series, NACOS provides all the
outstanding advantages of new
generation radars.
Integrated Steering and Track
Control
The TRACKPILOT is the core component of NACOS. It has been specially
designed to optimize the complete
steering process based on a closed
loop track controller: The TRACKPILOT
1100 receives position, heading and
speed data, applies the ship´s model
and calculates the necessary rudder
angle command.
It is designed to fulfil the latest requirements for Track Control Systems.
NACOS Features
Functional integration for standard
and one man bridge operation
New generation of RADARPILOT
1100 series
Autopilot with track control, operated
from the RADARPILOT/MULTIPILOT
SAM Electronics is the market leader of
Integrated Navigation Systems since its
first installation in 1985 with more than
1200 installed NACOS systems.
SAM Electronics now presents the
fifth generation: The NACOS xx-5 series.
Automatic speed control
Technical Excellence
Automatic anchor control
The success of NACOS is based on the
unique concept to functionally integrate
radar operation, ECDIS and autopilot.
This provides enhanced support to the
Officer on watch, whose main taskes
are navigation, collision avoidance and
control of the vessel´s safe track.

Experience
Three operational modes are available:
■ The HEADING mode (standard
autopilot steering)
■ The COURSE mode (incl. compensation for wind and current)
■ The TRACK mode (automatic track
steering)
A “Curved Headline“ for any planned or
commanded course change is shown
on each radar display.
To pass an object at a certain position –
just watch when the curved headline of
the next course becomes clear – then
release the manoeuvre.
In the TRACK mode the intended route
including planned turn radii will be
steered with an accuracy of better than
half the beam of your ship using highly
precise position sensors and speed
measurement.
Joystick Operation
The navigator commands the ship via
the radar screen
■ Use the 2-axis joystick
■ Move it to port or starboard to set
a new heading or course
■ Move it fore or aft to increase or
decrease the turning radius
Time is Money
The SPEEDPILOT option controls the
ship´s speed for punctual arrival.
Just add the desired arrival time to a
waypoint. You may also enter a speed
profile with different settings for
individual legs of the track, or simply
command to sail a constant speed or
constant rpm by numerical input
Information is Value
NACOS includes a central nautical
information management system: Each
NACOS workstation provides the same
information concerning the actual
voyage, manoeuvring data and environmental conditions.
Radar display with interactive on screen operation
CONNINGPILOT is the central nautical
information display. MULTIPILOT and
CHARTPILOT offer identical display
modes as well.
MULTIPILOT represents a unique navigation radar system combining ARPA
radar, ECDIS, conning and steering
control as the most compact solution
available in the marine market.
Navigation Data Display is designed
to act as an overhead display for specific navigation and engine data. Up to 10
NDD´s can be remote controlled from
RADAR- / MULTIPILOT.

...into Integration
Alarm Management is Vital
NACOS alarms and messages are constantly managed for all radar, conning,
and chart workstations. In association
with our automation experts, we also
offer a complete Bridge and Watch
Alarm System BAS/WAS with clear
text message display and acknowledgement functions at any conning or
ECDIS workstation.
Automatic Identification
System
Like all other sensors, AIS is integrated
deeply into NACOS. The information is
provided throughout the system via
LAN to all NACOS navigation displays
of the NACOS. These are all type
approved as a Minimum Keyboard
Display for the AIS 3400/3410.
Voyage Data Recorder
Conning display for a vessel with dual shaft propulsion display
Following the principle of system
integration NACOS provides not only
a unique interface for the VDR but
also a user interface for the new
VDR DEBEG 4300. The radar video is
recorded digitally via the Ethernet LAN
and all main functions like alarm
management and incident backups
can be handled via the RADAR- or
MULTIPILOT.
The Network
NACOS employs two network technologies: CAN real time loops (CAN =
Controller Area Network) are used for
communication of navigation data,
navigation control signals and to interswitch radars. An Ethernet LAN is
used for exchange of electronic charts,
ARPA target and AIS information as
well as navigation data between radar
and ECDIS systems and for integration
of the VDR.
The results are:
■ Reliability and consistency of information regardless of which workstation or radar you look at.

■ Up to 5 RADARPILOT or MULTIPILOT
■
■
■
■
workstations can be interswitched
with up to 5 X-band or S-band
transceivers.
The steering and speed control can
be managed from any of up to 5
TRACKPILOT control panels. Each
display unit can be extended by up
to 4 slave displays including a fully
operable keyboard.
Nautical sensors or subsystems can
be connected to the easily
expandable Cable Connection Unit.
With two Cable Connection Units
and two optional extensions, all interface and redundancy requirements
can be fulfilled.
The NACOS network technology,
combined with a strict policy of
equipment, software compatibility
and documentation throughout all
system versions, ensures modularity
and up-gradability from stand-alone
radar to high-end INS and IBS configurations.

The perfect fit
MULTIPILOT...
TRACKPILOT...
Whenever economy, flexibility, accuracy, redundancy or the highest safety
level is the decisive factor; whether
the propulsion is by 1, 2 or 4 engines,
variable pitch propeller, or azimuth
drives, NACOS can be configured to
meet the needs of almost any ship.
The table below shows 5 NACOS
standard configurations.
...combines the functions of a RADARPILOT and a CHARTPILOT in one
unique and powerful multifunctional
navigation workstation.
...controls the steering system in either
COURSE, HEADING, or TRACK modes.
Its joystick-operated control panel is
part of the RADARPILOT, CHARTRADAR
and MULTIPILOT.
CHARTPILOT...
...is a type-approved ECDIS used as
planning, navigation monitoring, and/or
as a conning station. Available in single
or dual configurations for desk top or
console mounting.
RADARPILOT...
...combines the operating radar with
autopilot and track-keeping functions.
Selectable options are CAT1/2, ARPA,
X- or S-band RADARs.
CONNINGPILOT...
CHARTRADAR...
...on user demand chart information
which is received from the CHARTPILOT
may be added to the radar image by a
wide range of individual user settings.
...is an optional display of the TRACKPILOT electronics for permanent
presentation of CONNING data. Alternatively a CHARTPILOT can be used as
a CONNING display with the advantage
to togle between CONNING and ECDIS.
* Each display unit can be extended
by up to 4 slave displays including
remote access e.g. for wing operation.
SPEEDPILOT...
...is an optional component for the
TRACKPILOT and controls the lever
settings for automatic speed control
according to the planned arrival time,
a speed profile (defined for the various
legs of the route) or a fixed speed or rmp
setting.
BAS/WAS 40M or BWS 40M...
... centralizes bridge alarm functions
and the watch alarm and transfer
system in one or two compact panels.
Connection to NACOS creates a complete central bridge alarm management
system.
Please refer to the specific
product brochures for details.
