KONGSBERG DISCOVERY
Kongsberg’s cutting-edge solutions provide precise,
reliable and real-time data for detecting, classifying
and observing objects, obstacles, vessels and
the shoreline, as well as precise control of your
own position, velocity and attitude information.
Kongsberg Situational Awareness builds on their
extensive experience within autonomous vessels,
utilising advanced technology to assist day-to-day
operations. They deliver dynamic sensor coverage up
to 360° and a configurable operator view to ensure
that your Situational Awareness system meets your
operational needs. Kongsberg Situational Awareness
is designed to mitigate the risks navigators face,
increasing safety, operational efficiency and
expanding the operational window. Enabled by the
latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning
techniques, Kongsberg Situational Awareness fuses
sensor and navigation data to create one coherent
understanding of the vessel surroundings. The system
will integrate cameras like the Kongsberg Camera
Cluster, radars, AIS, attitude, and positioning data
to provide reliable information on all static and moving
objects or obstacles within the coverage area. The
product offers dynamic stitching of several camera
clusters and together with electronic stabilizing
the user has the possibility for a fully configurable
360° view. The Augmented Reality overlay provides
a clear view over obstacles, and planned path.
Kongsberg has simultaneously introduced a scalable
and optimised yacht Asset Tracking System (ATS)
previous known as Tender Tracking System (TTS) based
upon Automatic Identification System (AIS). The ATS
is used in both preventive and reactive modes. The
possibility of running an encryption algorithm on top
of the standardised AIS allows for a security layer
(privacy). When enabling the security function, the
yacht and the connected assets will still be able to
see AIS objects outside the network, provided that
the standard AIS frequencies are used.
