dKart Navigator system
supplies a navigator with all information on ship’s position and her movement
elements, including ship’s heading/true heading, speed/true speed, speed and
heading increment/decrement values, current time, etc in the mode of route
monitoring. The navigation data are updated every second and are displayed both
as numerals and directly on a chart. The covered pathway and corresponding time
stamps are displayed atop of the chart.

While a ship is moving along a
route, dKart Navigator system provides a navigator with the all
information on route transit, including route’s name, distance, bearing and
estimated time of movement to the nearest waypoint, amendment to the current
heading necessary to arrive to the point, etc.
The continuous route calculations
allow informing a navigator of hazardous deviations from the route and also open
up an opportunity of preparing to maneuver on time.

Main
/ emergency reckoning mode
|
|
dKart Navigator can use
the following positioning systems in the main reckoning mode:
-
GPS, AIS-Transponder, ARPA,
DECCA, LORAN-C automatic systems;
-
Reckoning on the basis of
heading and speed data, including a log, gyrocompass, data set by the
operator.
In case of failure of the
positioning system selected for the main reckoning mode, dKart Navigator
system automatically changes over to the secondary (emergency) reckoning mode.
The same positioning systems can
be used both for the primary and emergency modes.

|
|
In the Dual Reckoning Mode dKart
Navigator uses simultaneously both positioning systems. It allows an
operator to estimate devices accuracy visually as well as detect possible
malfunction.

Manual
observation by bearings/distances
|
|
This function is designed to
determine position of the ship by bearings and distances to navigation landmarks
being entered manually.
>> back
|
|
This function is designed to
control ship’s position in reference to the chart point designated by a
special marker. A navigator can select the following conditions of the ship and
the marker mutual disposition:
-
assigned bearing obtainment,
-
assigned distance rendezvous,
-
withdrawal (drift) to
determined distance,
-
traverse obtainment by the
ship.
When the described event occurs dKart
Navigator gives alarms and visual indication warnings.
