“DPS 432 expands our established and field-proven portfolio of position reference systems for DP operations, ensuring that we can offer a highly reliable solution for any DP vessel or operating region,” said Vidar Bjørkedal, VP sales and customer support, Kongsberg Seatex.
“The system is based on the same architecture as other DPS products, which means it features a highly intuitive HMI, while the ability to integrate all available GNSS and corrections provides integrity and availability of the position data needed for safe operations.”
The DPS NAV Engine used in all of Kongsberg’s positioning systems is included, which runs its computations independent from the DPS HMI (operator interface) and operates in a ‘safe mode’, protected from unintended user operations.
DPS 432 can also integrate multiple layers of other information, including electronic charts, seabed maps, static targets and AIS target information.{/mprestriction}
