Is magnetic interference affecting your vessel’s heading accuracy?
Bogged down by escalating operational expenses from traditional gyrocompasses?
It’s time for a smarter solution.
Redefine navigation with EDGE FOG - Precision you can count on.
Accurate navigation plays a crucial role in safe and efficient maritime operations. Fibre optic gyroscopes (FOGs) have become integral to delivering precise heading and stabilisation for marine vessels, marking a significant transformation in navigational technology. Contrary to traditional magnetic compasses, which rely on the Earth's magnetic field and are prone to interference, FOG-based gyrocompasses ensure exceptional stability and immunity to magnetic disturbances, making them suitable for long-term and high-precision directional guidance. At the forefront of this innovation is EDGE’s in-house gyrocompass - the FOG-UDHAK SX1. Leveraging state-of-the-art Fiber-optic Gyroscope technology and a comprehensive suite of compatible FOG repeaters, FOG-UDHAK SX1 delivers highly accurate and reliable heading information. Engineered for high-speed as well as low-speed marine vessels, it exceeds military standards, ensuring exceptional performance even in the harshest conditions. EDGE FOG is IMO type-approved and has been successfully deployed across various sectors, including commercial shipping, LNG tankers, offshore operations, defence and research vessels.
