Fibre Optic Gyrocompass

The Saturn fibre optic gyrocompass has been designed and engineered to fulfil the primary navigation need. The soon to be IMO Certified device is a strap-down attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), resulting in a maintenance free unit. A lightweight, compact and highly reliable gyrocompass that provides flexibility making it suitable for any size of vessel. The accurate and purpose driven specification ensures that Saturn is the solution for many navigation and control applications.

Integration is key to a successful navigation system and importantly, the Saturn is offered with a range of repeaters and ancillary devices. The unit is fully compatible with an extensive range of receiving equipment, delivering a variety of proprietary data formats at a fast rate.

All Saturn variants are provided with GPS and speed log interfaces, and provide full attitude and heading capabilities. Saturn 10 boasts specifications with even higher accuracies, making it the ultimate solution for any type of platform.
