Targetmaster®
A tool for maritime interdiction. Defined and tested on the water, this navigation aid combines traditional “Maneuvering Board” functions with a highly-capable target-tracker.Driving directions are presented to the coxswain in a simple, easily understood, heads-up display. Targetmaster® controls are tailored to suit the environment.
Targetmaster® combines open-architecture interfaces, embedded firmware, ruggedized hardware and COTS navigational sensors to provide a flexible, scalable solution. The system can be deployed from stand-alone to fully integrated glass-helm configurations. "Future proofing" through industry-standard interfaces allows access to state-of-the-art COTS sensor technology.
Engaging a target is accomplished in three simple steps:
- Acquire: with your existing COTS ARPA, AIS targets or manually entered parameters
- Track: with the integrated tracker that generates realtime navigation solutions
- Intercept: using operator selected parameters, automatically validated against craft performance and/or current conditions
Features and Benefits
- NMEA 2000, Mil-STD-810F, IP67
- improves intercept precision through continuous updates
- increases mission flexibility by simultaneously tracking multiple targets
- reduces operator workload and enhances situational awareness by automating target dead-reckoning, track updates and projections
- accelerates precise, performance-validated intercept calculations
- increases force agility and responsiveness
- enhances navigator-to-helmsman communication through simple graphical representation of steering cues and lead/lag of the boat and NVIS compatible HMI
- minimal training required reduces costs
- reduces fielding costs by using existing COTS chartplotters and sensors (Furuno, Garmin, etc.)
- integrated advanced MOB, image-annotation and meta-data logging capabilities enhance mission scope and capability (option)
