Exocet Silver

Navigation system

PRESENTATION

The navigation system to meet the needs of modern sailors. 

A navigation system unit on a racing yacht is an essential element that provides sailors and skippers with a range of information crucial to maximizing the boat's performance and ensuring the safety of the crew.  

The navigation system provides real-time information on wind speed and direction, the position and attitude of the yacht, the boat's theoretical performance and the adjustments to be made to optimize performance.  

 This data enables:  

•  skippers to adjust the sails and their systems optimally to obtain the best possible performance.  
  
•  the autopilot to obtain crucial data for steering the boat.  
  
•  define high-performance autopilot trajectories while guaranteeing maximum safety. 

IN PRACTICE ...  

 EXOCET SILVER means  

1. Monitoring and management of navigation sensors 
   One of Exocet Silver's major assets is its ability to monitor all navigation sensors in real time. In addition to simple monitoring, it intelligently manages any equipment failures, ensuring that navigators receive accurate, reliable information at all times. 
   
   
2. Universal data visualisation 
   Navigation data is at the fingertips of navigators. The platform provides a sophisticated web interface for viewing data on computers, tablets and smartphones. What's more, it is compatible with the majority of displays on the market, such as B&G/Navico, NKE, Garmin and others, guaranteeing seamless integration with existing equipment.   
   
   
3. Advanced true wind calculation 
   In sailing, accurate knowledge of the wind is essential. EXOCET SILVER offers a high-end solution for true wind calculation, enabling crews and autopilots to react instantly to changing weather conditions and adjust their strategy accordingly. 
   
   
4. Performance data extraction  
   Exocet Silver doesn't just provide data: it analyses it. Sailors can extract relevant performance data to continually assess and improve their efficiency and strategy at sea.  

5. Optimised steering for safety and performance 
   At the heart of Exocet Silver is an advanced steering system that optimises the boat's trajectory. By integrating real-time data and advanced analysis, the boat sails on a trajectory that maximises safety while ensuring optimum performance.
   

6. Extensibility thanks to the graphical programming interface (Manta)  
   One of the most impressive benefits of Exocet Silver is its ability to evolve according to user needs. Thanks to its Manta graphical programming interface, users can extend and customise the functions of Exocet Silver, ensuring that the system remains at the cutting edge of technology and meets the specific needs of each marine project.
   

7. Advanced alerting system for safe navigation  
   Navigators can define thresholds for any data such as wind speed, water depth, temperature or any other crucial metric. When these thresholds are reached or exceeded, the system automatically generates alerts, distinguishing between 'warning' and 'alarm' levels. This ensures that crews are constantly aware of potentially dangerous conditions and can act accordingly, enhancing safety at sea. 

WHO IS IT FOR?  

All projects that require high-performance and/or safe navigation.  

 Anyone who wants to customise a navigation system to meet their specific needs.  

It enables both the user and the autopilot to make the best decisions: sailors and skippers of sailing boats, racing sailing teams, operators of sailing or motorised vessels, operators of vessels/cargoes powered by vehicles, etc.
