  • LOW SPEED TRACK KEEPING to automatically keep the vessel on a given track with a combined autopilot/DP control logic
  • STATION KEEPING to automatically keep the position/heading of the vessel
  • SPEED MODE to automatically maintain a GPS speed set-point (additional interface with propulsion control system is required)

The following “Enhanced” operational modes may be provided on customer demand:

  • TACTICAL PLANS/MANEUVERS to execute automatically navy tactical plans and manoeuvres
  • FOLLOW TARGET to automatically keep the vessel at a certain distance from the target position
