SafePilot Hardware SafePilot CAT ROT SafePilot CAT ROT is a small and compact pilot unit primarily designed to connect to a ship’s AIS pilot plug and transmit data via Wi-Fi to the pilot’s tablet/notebook. The solution is designed to overcome the SafePilot CAT XT shortcomings of the AIS pilot plug data format by generating an accurate real-time rate of turn SafePilot CAT XT combines the ROT of CAT ROT with the and providing the missing decimal readings to DGPS precision of CAT I in one unit. The unit is intended the heading data via an integrated rate sensor, for use in sets of two interchangeable units, of which intelligent processing and advanced Kalman filter one is connected to the AIS pilot plug and the other is integrated into the unit. placed on the bridge wing as DGPS receiver. When connected to the AIS pilot plug, the unit allows for charging of the internal battery and the DGPS function is disconnected, making the unit work purely as a ROT sensor. When the unit on the bridge wing is running low on battery, the two units are swapped for charging. This makes the CAT XT ideal for use on long transit pilotage operations. SafePilot CAT I SafePilot CAT I is a standalone, high-accuracy GPS receiver with the capability of GPS/GLONASS and available SBAS systems such as EGNOS, WAAS, MSAS, and GAGAN provides 1cm/sec (RMS) speed accuracy. The solution is an add-on option to CAT ROT for use in operations that demand more accurate positioning than what is provided by the ship’s own positioning through the AIS pilot plug. The use of CAT I further improves the accuracy of the speed measurements of the vessel. 15
