CyScan
The CyScan system is a local position reference sensor for marine Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications. It measures the range and bearing of retro-reflective targets allowing the DP system to maintain the vessel’s position and heading relative to the target structure of another vessel.
Range: up to 2500m
The latest in DP laser technology, the CyScan sensor can be used as a primary reference or a complementary addition to a microwave sensor or DGPS. With an optional operating temperature of -40ºC, CyScan is also available as an Extreme Low Temperature (XT) variant for Ice and Arctic operations.
Technical Features
- Operating range up to 2500m
- Close range operation from 10m
- Full 360º scanning
- Automatic wave compensation
- Higher laser pulse rate 30Khz minimises risk of target loss
- Multi-target operation gives structure heading
- Navigate off 5 prisms (can detect 10)
- Interfaces to all known DP systems
- Ethernet and/or Serial communication options

Application
The CyScan system is suitable for applications which use fixed structures such as:
- Platform, offshore and multi-purpose supply vessel operations
- Wind farms servicing
- Accommodation barge operation
- Crew boats station keeping
- Dive and ROV support
- Fish farm
- Track and ship-follow
- Shuttle tanker loading
- Pipe and cable laying
- Rock dumping
- Replenishment at sea
RadaScan
The RadaScan system is an advanced local position reference sensor for long range use in marine Dynamic Positioning (DP) applications. The sensor is a rotating antenna mounted on the DP equipped vessel. It emits a microwave beam and accurately measures the range and bearing of one or more intelligent microwave targets called responders, allowing for the calculation of vessel position and heading.
Range: up to 1000m
