2. Introduction

The general use of R6 NAV NEO and specific use in the Panama Canal.
2.1 General use on open sea, ports and other waterways
The R6 NAV NEO system solution is meeting the increased demand for precision
navigation, and is SOLAS approved for general use on any waters while also
fulfilling the new Panama Canal Authority requirements for a non-portable piloting
unit. With our modular design, the R6 NAV PRO Compass Sensor allows for
additional configurations to meet specific needs.
General features of the R6 NAV NEO system

Type approved DGNSS providing top of the line accuracy for position,
speed, course, heading and rate of turn.

Operator HMI available in the R6 CDU (Control and Display Unit).
Additional R6 CDU may be installed in a network configuration.

Prepared for additional SOLAS approvals as Transmitting Heading Device
(THD) and Speed and Distance Measuring Equipment (SDME) and Rate
of Turn Indicator (ROT).*

Supports GNSS corrections via IALA beacon, SBAS, local RTK, and
global ATLAS correction service.

Ability to use the same system on open sea as well as in narrow waters or
at docking.

Precise ship position and movements displayed on the R6 CDU (control
and display unit) as well as distributed to ECDIS, ARPA or other systems
onboard the ship over standardized network and serial interfaces.
*Additional MED approvals estimated second half 2024
Outstanding position and signal integrity

Depending on correction source, accuracy at sub-metre (DGNSS),
decimetre (Atlas) and centimetre level (Local RTK)

Built in detection for spoofing and signal jamming, with advanced active
filters to limit impact of jammers in the GNSS band.
