Long range operation
Operating in the 9.2-9.3 GHz band, the XPR 100 operates in all weather conditions, and has an unmatched performance in range and bearing accuracy. Each lightweight panel has an opening angle of 100°. XPR accurately measures the range and bearing relatively to another XPR system with a range up to 10 km.
Multiple panels
XPR 100 can utilise several sensor panels, which can be deployed on suitable locations on the vessel dependent on the construction and operation. This provides an extended operational area as well as avoidance of blind angles. Application software makes configuration and monitoring of the XPR 100 operation easy and effective, and interfaces to remote systems like DP may either be serial lines or Ethernet based. XPR 100 is designed to fill the need specified by IMO for DP Classed vessels.
In-built system test and verification
To reduce the risk of costly downtime, a built-in test for quick verification of the XPR system before arriving at the location is implemented.
Ease-of-use HMI
The XPR 100 features a highly intuitive HMI enabling the operators to assess the quality of their positioning quickly and effectively during operation. For better visibility under different light conditions, the operator can easily select between a set of colour palettes, including a well proven night display.
Complementary solution
KONGSBERG offers a range of different positioning solutions for use in DP operations. The XPR 100 is complementary to the other technologies used, and incorporates decades of experience and application understanding.
