Marine Navigation Systems:
Safe navigation starts with reliable sensors and displays. EDGE offers a full suite of bridge equipment. For radar we provide the AJNA RX-9 (a solid-state X/S-band radar scanner with high-speed scan and long range). Our GAMAYA EX1 ECDIS is a modern, touch-screen electronic chart system (IMO type-approved, with multi-language interface). We also offer the UDHAK SX1 fiber-optic gyrocompass, which delivers precise heading, roll and pitch data. For integrated navigation, our Bandhan bridge system ties all radar, gyro, AIS and camera inputs onto a single MIL-grade workstation. This Integrated Bridge System (IBS) gives the crew a unified situational awareness picture.
AJNA RX-9: Advanced Marine Radar for Modern Navigation
The AJNA RX-9 is EDGE’s flagship radar system, engineered for precision, clarity, and reliability in the world’s most challenging marine environments. Built around a solid-state architecture and dual X- and S-band configurations, the AJNA RX-9 delivers exceptional target resolution, long-range performance, and real-time situational awareness that mariners can depend on during both routine voyages and high-stakes operations.
One of the most critical aspects of modern marine radar is its ability to function effectively in adverse weather conditions. Whether a vessel is operating in dense fog, heavy rainfall, or congested sea lanes, radar must serve as the bridge team’s primary sensory tool when visual cues disappear. The AJNA RX-9 addresses this need with a high-speed scan rate and adaptive clutter rejection algorithms that enhance target discrimination, even in environments with substantial sea or rain clutter. The radar system dynamically adjusts gain and clutter settings in real time to preserve the clarity of targets, ensuring the operator sees what is relevant and nothing else.
What distinguishes the AJNA RX-9 from many legacy or low-cost radar solutions is its use of solid-state transmitters. Unlike traditional magnetron-based radars that require frequent maintenance and suffer from signal degradation over time, the solid-state design of the RX-9 delivers consistent output power, lower lifecycle cost, and minimal maintenance requirements. This makes the AJNA RX-9 ideal for commercial fleets, naval vessels, offshore platforms, and even smaller patrol boats that need maximum reliability without the burden of extensive upkeep.
In terms of performance, the dual X- and S-band capability ensures versatility across multiple operational domains. The X-band radar provides higher resolution, which is essential for close-range operations, detecting small targets, and navigating narrow waterways. This is especially useful during port entry, maneuvering in archipelagos, or monitoring small craft in high-traffic regions. The S-band, on the other hand, offers improved performance in heavy precipitation and longer-range detection capabilities. This combination allows bridge teams to switch between bands as needed or run both simultaneously for a layered radar picture that covers all threat vectors.
Integration is a foundational principle in EDGE’s radar design philosophy. The AJNA RX-9 seamlessly interfaces with other components in the Edge navigation suite, including ECDIS, AIS, GNSS, conning displays, and alert management systems. The radar’s ARPA (Automatic Radar Plotting Aid) functionality tracks multiple targets simultaneously, providing critical data such as CPA (Closest Point of Approach), TCPA (Time to CPA), and relative bearing. These outputs are automatically shared with other navigation displays, contributing to a single, unified situational awareness picture across the bridge.
Installation flexibility is another strong point of the AJNA RX-9. The radar antenna units are available in multiple form factors to suit varying ship designs. All cabling is simplified for plug-and-play setup, and the system architecture supports remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and calibration via satellite or local network. This makes it ideal for fleet-wide standardization, ensuring that training, maintenance, and operations remain consistent across multiple vessels.
Finally, the AJNA RX-9 was developed with regulatory compliance and future-proofing in mind. It meets all IMO radar performance standards, including requirements for ARPA, radar plotting, and target tracking. Additionally, the system is designed to integrate with VTS (Vessel Traffic Services), electronic chart overlays, and onboard safety systems, making it a central node in any Integrated Bridge System (IBS) or Combat Management System (CMS).
In summary, the AJNA RX-9 is more than a radar. It is a modern marine awareness engine, engineered to withstand harsh conditions, provide actionable data, and integrate into the digital backbone of any maritime vessel. It gives bridge crews the confidence and tools they need to make fast, informed decisions that protect cargo, crew, and mission objectives.
GAMAYA EX1: Electronic Chart Display and Information System for Demanding Navigation
The GAMAYA EX1 is EDGE’s advanced Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), purpose-built to support both compliance and operational excellence in commercial, defense, and offshore navigation. Designed with input from experienced mariners and built to meet IMO type-approval standards, the GAMAYA EX1 is not just a legal requirement fulfilled. It is a central tool for safe, efficient, and intuitive navigation.
Modern navigation demands far more than digital chart access. The GAMAYA EX1 meets that demand by providing a high-resolution, touch-enabled interface that integrates real-time navigation data with contextual overlays, allowing watch officers to understand not only their current position, but also the risks, conditions, and opportunities ahead. The system supports full ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) compatibility and includes automatic updates, route optimization tools, tidal data, and safety contour features.
What sets the GAMAYA EX1 apart from many ECDIS solutions on the market is its emphasis on real-time interoperability. The system does not operate in isolation. It actively interfaces with AIS, radar (including AJNA RX-9), GNSS, gyrocompass, and conning displays, compiling a comprehensive and coherent navigational picture. When connected to the radar system, the ECDIS can overlay radar images directly onto the chart interface, allowing for an immediate visual correlation between plotted targets and geographical context. This is invaluable during coastal transits, port entries, or in restricted waters where every meter counts.
The user interface of the GAMAYA EX1 was specifically designed for ease of use under pressure. It employs a clean layout, responsive touch input, and customizable chart views that allow officers to focus on what matters most based on operational context. Layers such as safety zones, TSS (Traffic Separation Schemes), MARPOL boundaries, and port approach protocols can be toggled on or off with a single tap. The interface is available in multiple languages and is optimized for both day and night operations, ensuring accessibility across diverse crews and conditions.
Another defining feature of the GAMAYA EX1 is its performance. Unlike many legacy systems that experience lag or become unresponsive under load, the EX1 is engineered with high-performance processors and solid-state storage. Chart loading is instant, panning and zooming are fluid, and route updates or re-planning can be executed without delays. This responsiveness is critical when conditions change quickly, or when new instructions are issued by port control or maritime authorities.
The GAMAYA EX1 also includes tools to streamline voyage planning and auditing. Users can create and validate routes within the system using built-in route-check algorithms that identify potential safety conflicts or regulatory violations. Voyage plans can be exported for review, logged for compliance documentation, or synchronized with shore-based systems for remote monitoring and approval. For vessels operating under tight compliance regimes or under audit scrutiny, this functionality is a time-saving asset.
Finally, the GAMAYA EX1 is built to evolve. The software supports modular updates and feature expansions, ensuring that it remains compatible with new charting standards, third-party data feeds, and advanced automation frameworks. Its hardware platform is compact, rugged, and designed to fit within a range of bridge console configurations, from compact nearshore vessels to multi-screen cruise ship bridges.
In total, the GAMAYA EX1 is not simply an electronic chart viewer. It is a dynamic, interactive planning and decision-making platform, engineered to simplify navigation, enhance safety, and empower crews with the clarity and control required in today’s operational environments.
UDHAK SX1: Precision Fiber-Optic Gyrocompass for Heading, Pitch, and Roll
The EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 is EDGE’s next-generation fiber-optic gyrocompass (FOG), designed to deliver high-precision heading, pitch, and roll data without reliance on moving parts or traditional mechanical gyroscopes. Developed for continuous reliability in harsh marine environments, the UDHAK SX1 provides the accurate orientation data that is essential for radar alignment, autopilot performance, ECDIS plotting, and dynamic positioning (DP) operations.
Unlike conventional spinning-mass gyrocompasses, which require frequent maintenance, calibration, and warm-up periods, the EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 uses fiber-optic interferometry to measure angular velocity. This technology enables it to provide instantaneous heading output from startup, with zero mechanical drift, no settling time, and no performance loss due to wear. The result is a robust, maintenance-free heading reference that is suited for both new installations and legacy system upgrades.
The importance of accurate and stable heading data cannot be overstated in modern navigation. Every major bridge system depends on this input to function correctly. A radar system must know the vessel’s heading in order to align its display properly. An autopilot needs precise directional feedback to maintain a plotted course. An ECDIS requires accurate heading and attitude data to correctly place the ship symbol on a chart and apply course overlays. The EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 provides this information with exceptional accuracy, even under heavy vibration, magnetic interference, and extreme temperatures.
One of the key differentiators of the EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 is its integrated pitch and roll sensing capability. Traditional gyrocompasses are limited to heading data only, which can lead to performance gaps when a vessel is operating in heavy seas or under dynamic maneuvering. The EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 fills this gap by offering a complete inertial navigation profile. It senses and outputs real-time pitch and roll data, which is invaluable for systems such as DP, stabilizer control, weapons systems on defense vessels, and even camera stabilization in surveillance applications.
From a systems integration perspective, the EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 is engineered for simplicity and compatibility. It outputs data in standard NMEA and Ethernet protocols, and it supports synchronization with multiple devices simultaneously, including ECDIS, radar, AIS, autopilot, and conning displays. The system includes built-in diagnostics, redundant power inputs, and configurable update rates to ensure optimal performance for both fast-response operations and slow-speed navigation.
Installation is straightforward. The compact housing and modular mounting options allow for flexible placement on a variety of vessel types, including commercial shipping, patrol vessels, offshore platforms, and yachts. The EDGE FOG UDHAK SX1 does not require external cooling or environmental conditioning, and its firmware can be updated over the network, ensuring minimal disruption during service intervals.
Like all EDGE products, the EDGE FOG is designed with lifecycle performance in mind. It is tested against maritime vibration, temperature, and electromagnetic interference standards, and it is backed by Edge’s global support infrastructure. This includes technical documentation, multilingual interface options, and service centers positioned near key maritime hubs.
In conclusion, the UDHAK SX1 is not just a replacement for mechanical gyros. It is a forward-looking, zero-maintenance solution that brings the reliability, precision, and intelligence required by today’s interconnected navigation systems. Whether you are outfitting a newbuild or retrofitting a legacy bridge, the UDHAK SX1 delivers the kind of inertial performance modern vessels need to operate with confidence.
