THE MOST ACCURATE AND RELIABLE PPU JUST GOT 75 % LESS IN VOLUME. THE NEW XR2 IS PROBABLY THE WORLD'S SMALLEST PORTABLE PILOT UNIT
To meet the exacting demands of navigating and docking large vessels, the measurement of low speed, precise heading and Rate of Turn is of outmost importance to the Pilot. And when size and weight are almost as important, the 2nd edition of the 100 % wireless ADX XR Concept – the XR2 is now smaller, lighter, more rugged and even more durable.
The XR2 system derives measurements using state-of-the-art GPS/GLONASS/ BeiDou and Galileo Real Time Kinematic (RTK) techniques along with extremely accurate RoT sensors.
MORE COMPACT AND STILL WIRELESS XR2 is a wireless Potable Pilot Unit (PPU) sensor that communicates with the Pilots portable ECS system via standard wireless technology. The complete system comprises of only three small, light, ruggedized POD units, making it ideal for transportation and operation under various conditions.
UNIQUE INTERPOD UHF NETWORK XR2 employs robust UHF network communication between the XR2 PODs to boost the signal penetration. By this, any problems with system communication because of interference or challenging ship structures are history.
PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET We have listened to every Pilot we have met, and everyone says that size and weight do count. We have now reduced the size of nearly 75 % in volume, which means that the size is smaller, the weight is lighter, and the battery life is almost unheard of.

Just recently our highly skilled engineers have concluded their most difficult project in our history. The challenge was to make the lightweight PPU even lighter.
