Helideck Motion Monitoring
A Motion Reference Unit (MRU) provides real-time Roll, Pitch and Heave information that are coupled with Wind data provided by a tiers equipment in the user’s analysis computer.
The user’s software provides these combined Helideck data in real-time to the helicopter in order to ensure a safe landing.

Wave Buoys in the Arctic Sea Ice
Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) Program Over recent decades the Arctic has warmed more than any other region leading to significant reduction in sea ice volume. The combination of increased ice-free area and more mobile ice cover has led to the emergence of a seasonal marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Beaufort Sea. The Office of … Continued
MTR Article on Bathymetric USV
The Perfect INS for USV-based Bathymetry Like most unmanned systems, USVs have space and power constraints. Ekinox-D is the best INS to be integrated into this type of vehicle. Weighing less than 600 grams and low power (<7W), the Ekinox-D INS integrates an RTK dual antenna GNSS receiver for a centimeter-level position. It provides a … Continued
Ports of Jersey Choose the Apogee-U

Tips
Small Wave Period Sensing For More Safety
The Ellipse Series delivers a 5 cm Heave which automatically adjusts to the wave period. The wave period is quite short (0 to 15 seconds) which is crucial for safety.
