Boat control panel NavAP

for yachtsthrusterpropulsion

The NavAP is fully adaptive. The use of only one ‘Sensitivity’ parameter for fine-tuning system performance covers all known yawing, steering and counter rudder settings of the autopilots of other brands. The NavAP has built-in ‘Heading Monitor System’(HMS) functionality, which makes it possible to receive and monitor the data coming from two heading data sources continuously (gyro+gyro, gyro+magnetic compass, atellite gyro etc.). Several speed sources can also be used during operation (GPS, waterspeed log or bottom tracking log). The NavAP fully self-adjusting ‘Auto Tune’ algorithm allows easily adapting the autopilot performance to the hydrodynamic parameters of any vessel, irrespective of its displacement and dimensions. This makes it possible to use the NavAP onboard any commercial or leisure vessel with a single rudder, linked rudder, independent rudder or stern azimuth Z-drives configuration • Wide range of operating modes allows installing NavAP on a broad range of vessels easily, ranging from small boats and yachts to tanker or an atomic icebreaker. • NavAP is easily compatible with almost all modern steering systems. • NavAP supports up to two independent tunnel thrusters allows the use of autopilot from zero speeds, which is widely used on special vessels, tugboats and super-yachts. • The NavAP is one of the few autopilots designed for vessels with two and more independent rudders. • Full support for modern protocols makes it easy to include NavAP in integrated bridge systems with support for central alert management system (BAM, CAMS).
