Safe navigation when working outside UKC boundaries
Vigilant provides the clarity you need to navigate safely, giving you a clear view of the actual subsea surface and the true depth of water. It delivers a range of up to 1500m ahead of your vessel and 3D dynamic imagery, up to 600m. This allows enough time to avoid collisions or grounding issues and brings navigational confidence to your bridge team.
No need for extra display screens in overcrowded bridge spaces
Bridge space is always limited, and yet another display screen can create difficulties for both crews and vessel fitting and building teams.
Vigilant is easily integrated into existing displays through our multi-output formats and proven ECDIS integration. The user interface is designed to fit your navigational needs whether you require pure sonar, 2D or 3D depth views. The integrated Bathymetry data and georeferencing of the individual returns allow UKC warnings and alerts to be coordinated with passage plans, ensuring full transparency and compliance.
