Know your heading. Understand your movement.
GuardianSCL derives heading from GNSS rather than from a spinning mass, so there is no settling time and no drift to compensate. Heading and satellite speed over ground are presented clearly, and the functions are selected to suit the installation.
Where she points, and where she is going.
Heading from the satellites
The antenna derives heading from the satellites it tracks, so the direction the vessel is pointing comes from the same source as her position.
Heading is not course
The direction she points and the direction she travels are rarely the same. Both are presented, so the difference between them is visible rather than inferred.
Fed to the bridge equipment
Heading and speed leave the antenna as sentences compatible bridge equipment already understands, so existing displays keep their familiar readings.
Key Benefits
GNSS-derived vessel heading
Satellite-derived speed over ground.
Clearly identified heading and movement information.
Compass and speed functions selected to suit the application.
Heading made clear
Precise heading. Clear movement information.
GuardianSCL combines GNSS-derived vessel heading and satellite speed-over-ground information to give bridge teams a clearer understanding of orientation and movement. Heading, course and speed describe different aspects of navigation. The selected GuardianSCL configuration can be matched to compatible receiving equipment and vessel integration requirements.
