Saab’s IMO-compliant navigation systems have been the top choice for professional mariners for almost two decades. The newly type approved R6 NAV with its proven navigation sensors is a reliable, flexible, high performing system distinguished by unique features not available in any other system on the market.
Ease of use
The R6 NAV system is self-monitoring and extremely user friendly. It utilizes a highly versatile CDU (Control and Display Unit) and, with options of sensor configurations and antennas, it represents one of the most flexible systems on the market. The R6 NAV is intuitive and easy to operate and designed to be a tool for daily work. Its CDU features a fast modern graphical user interface with a sunlight-readable 7-inch touch display providing accurate colours at any viewing angle. The display has a resolution of 1024x600 pixels in more than 16M colours. The CDU also features an interface for central bridge equipment dimming.
All information is easy to access through a GUI implementation that reminds of a modern smartphone.
Multi purpose display.
The R6 CDU shares its display with our type approved R6 Supreme AIS/VDES transponder to minimize the number of screens on the bridge and lower the cost for equipment and installation.
Future proof
The R6 NAV system incorporates the new Bridge Alarm Management (BAM) standard as well as dual LAN interfaces (IEC 61162-450) for efficient network integration into bridge systems.
Simple installation
The R6 NAV system can easily be integrated with other on-board systems such as ECDIS, radar or other display solutions using traditional NMEA serial communication or network interface. Dual network interfaces in both the sensor and CDU makes it simple to install on redundant bridge networks.
