The Simrad ARGUS radars fully complies and exceeds IMO regulations. Thanks to the modular design, they can be either assembled to form a stand-alone display cabinet or be flush mounted into a mechanical bridge console. The standard configuration always includes full ARPA, AIS and an electronic built-in Interswitch for dual radar installations.

The Simrad AP70 and AP80 are the culmination of over 60 years of experience in the autosteering market. Simrad built the world’s first autopilot in 1951 (the AP1) and we now bring you the next generation in autopilot systems.

Both the AP70 and AP80 systems are made from ruggedized aluminium, have a 5inch bonded high sunlight viewable screen, and can be panel (flush) or bracket mounted

The RGC50 is a compact gyrocompass, designed to enhance the navigation capabilities on small commercial, fishing vessels, and large pleasure yachts.

A gyrocompass eliminates the inconvenience and limitations of magnetic compasses, and provides a variety of electrical outputs to supply accurate and consistent heading information to other navigation equipment.

The capabilities and precision of the RGC50 will provide exceptional heading information to the navigation equipment installed on your vessel.

HD Digital radars ensure exceptional detection of small or distant targets,using advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP). They present targets more clearly and reject clutter using 10-bit digital radar video sampling and Sensitivity Time Control (STC). Screen-clutter in any weather is virtually eliminated allowing a clear, accurate and easy to interpret image.

A full range of analog and digital repeaters are available for all vessel applications. Analog, digital and bearing repeaters can be used with all Simrad gyrocompasses. All repeaters are water resistant for external use.

The WI80 ensures that critical wind data can be monitored in the most intuitive fashion via simultaneous display in two complementary formats. As part of the IS80 instrument range, it sets the very highest standards in reliability and accuracy, and is ideal for long periods of continuous use in all conditions.

The IMO approved MX521A smart antenna delivers position accuracy better than 1 meter in DGPS mode, and better than 5 meter accuracy in standard GPS mode. The MX521A can be configured to use several space based augmentations systems (SBAS) such as EGNOS, WAAS and MSAS in areas outside of DGPS beacon coverage.

a complete solution to D/GPS and AIS System. With only one combined Control and Display unit, you can access all related information and still command full control of all D/GPS, AIS, and optional D/GPS Compass functions. The system connects directly to the ship’s navigation sensors as well as ECDIS, ARPA radar and other shipboard information systems.

The RF45X is a medium duty rudder feedback unit. Mechanically it is identical to it’s predecessor RF45, therefore it is a repairable rather than a potted throw away item.

Electrically it outputs a frequency (pulse width modulated) signal that matches with the J3XX input (AP35/AP50), but it can also output a frequency signal (selectable via internal jumpers) that matches with AP45 and AP9 Mk3. The RF45X can also operate on 24V DC, a useful feature when connected in a stand alone rudder angle indicator system. The unit is mounted close to the rudder stock and is mechanically connected to the rudder by the RF45 transmission link.

EPIRB technology has been proven in the commercial marine world. Once activated either automatically by contact with saltwater or manually, the EPIRB transmits a signal via satellite that can be picked up by rescue services to provide your location. On its own or in conjunction with the SA50 SART an EPIRB greatly enhances your chances of being rescued.

The SA50 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) enables any rescue vessel or aircraft fitted with radar to locate and steer to your position, dramatically increasing your chance of rescue should the unthinkable happen. As the smallest and lightest SART available today, the SA50 can be easily stowed, making it ideal for yachts and powerboats where space may be at a premium.

Simrad safety products have had an enviable reputation for the supply of GDMSS survival craft radios to the world’s shipping fleet. With modern, high-impact materials, the latest micro electronics, and designs that are thoroughly practical in every detail, the AXIS range features the toughest, most efficient and most user friendly handheld VHF radios on the market.
