Ship dynamic positioning system (DPS) RadaScan® View

Real time situational awareness for DP Operators While retaining RadaScan technology's precision and all weather capabilities, the RadaScan View system accurately measures the range and bearing of up to 4 intelligent microwave targets called responders, allowing for the calculation of vessel position and heading. The system enables automated approach and station keeping relative to a rig or platform, or to another vessel. With the supplementary View Dashboard, DP Operators can see responders in relation to the structure on a single screen. By introducing the View feature to RadaScan technology, DP Operators can achieve a higher level of operational safety for these applications, more choice and higher levels of redundancy. Current position references offer a limited view of the ‘real world’ environment. As today’s operations become more and more complex, providing situational awareness to an operator can help prevent an incident by providing early warning, and allowing more time to correct a potential issue. Building on Guidance Marine's proven pedigree, the RadaScan View system enhances traditional microwave DP reference sensors to provide additional situational awareness directly at the DP Operators’ station.
