Wavex
DNV-certified virtual sensor using standard X-band navigation radar to measure directional waves, surface current and speed through water.
Description
Wavex is a DNV-certified virtual sensor that processes sea surface backscatter from a standard X-band marine navigation radar to calculate directional wave, surface current and speed through water (STW) data. It interfaces with the vessel's existing radar without calibration.
Key features
- Directional wave spectra, surface current and measured speed through water
- Uses the existing X-band navigation radar; no calibration needed
- Data fusion with gyro, GPS and speed log maintains STW accuracy when radar conditions are marginal
- Suitable for vessels at any speed
Applications
Speed optimization, hull and propeller performance management and reduced weather claims on merchant ships, and wave and current monitoring for offshore vessel operations.
