3 1 Introduction Cobham SATCOM is pleased to announce the launch of the new SAILOR 656X GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and new SAILOR 657X DGNSS (Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers, which add new unique units to the SAILOR range of networking products. The SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS build on the tradition of quality, reliability, robustness and user friendliness known from other SAILOR network integrated products in the SOLAS market. Being a long-time leader in Radio- and Satellite communication products for the professional user, the SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS are a new but natural addition to the SAILOR product range. Built on the long legacy and technology know-how of SAILOR products, the SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS are true SAILOR products. They are 100% developed inhouse and built on the basis of the same fundamental virtues as all the SAILOR products. The SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS products are the next in a new series of SAILOR products which are 100% network integrated. Built on a Black Box transponder connected via LAN (LWE) to a 7 touch display, they give the user complete mobility in the installation. In addition to full network integration, they offer user friendly and safe operation. We will build further on this concept making more SAILOR products accessible on a single touch display, forming a Multi-Function Universe. Similar to using your smartphone, you will be able to switch functions/products by activating the different applications (apps) on the display. This concept will truly revolutionize the daily work on any bridge and enhance safe operation through a unified Man-Machine-Interface across various systems. Based on the cutting edge technology and the innovative user interface we expect the new SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS to become primary products in the SAILOR product range. 2 Sales Introduction Content This Sales Introduction contains an overview of what is needed in order to market the new SAILOR GNSS products. It includes: A general introduction to Global Navigation Satellite System - GNSS A description of the SAILOR GNSS / DGNSS solution Unique Selling Points of the SAILOR solution Future perspectives for the SAILOR integrated network solution Technical details A competitive overview How to order 3

4 3 Global Navigation Satellite System - GNSS 3.1 What is GNSS? The term Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) refers to a constellation of satellites (Space Vehicle (SV)) providing signals from space transmitting positioning and timing data. By definition, a GNSS provides global coverage. GNSS receivers determine location by using the timing and positioning data encoded in the signals from SVs. The USA s NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) and Russia s Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS) are examples of GNSS. Europe is in the process of launching its own independent GNSS, GALILEO. Until now, six GALILEO satellites have been launched. The Commission aims to have the full constellation of 30 GALILEO satellites (which includes six in-orbit active spares) in operation before The Chinese BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) consists of two separate satellite constellations. The first BeiDou, officially called the BeiDou Satellite Navigation Experimental System and also known as BeiDou-1, consists of three satellites. It has been offering navigation services, mainly for customers in China and neighbouring regions, since The second generation of the system, also known as COMPASS or BeiDou-2, will be a global satellite navigation system consisting of 35 satellites. It is planned to begin serving global customers upon its completion in The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is an autonomous regional satellite navigation system. The IRNSS will provide two services, with the Standard Positioning Service open for civilian use, and the Restricted Service (an encrypted one) for authorized users (including the military). The constellation of seven satellites is expected to operate from 2016 onwards. The two GNSS fully implemented for global coverage in 2015 are the USA s NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian Global'naya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS). Fig. 1 - Example of GNSS satellite constellation (GALILEO) 4

5 3.2 How does GNSS work? GNSS is known to the majority of distributors, installers and end-users worldwide already. The the system has been available to market since the first full constellation of 24 NAVSTAR GPS satellites was completed in 1994 by United States Military. To be able to receive information from the NAVSTAR satellites, the user needs a GPS receiver for the NAVSTAR satellite frequencies. The Russian GLONASS system has been operational since February To be able to receive information from the GLONASS satellites, the user needs a GNSS receiver for the GLONASS satellite frequencies. Likewise, users will need equipment capable of receiving the satellite frequencies of forthcoming GNSS such as GALILEO and others. Since GNSS is an international acronym for Global Navigation Satellite System, all systems will be referred to as GNSS (or DGNSS) if nothing else is stated. Based on the above, we shall not go in to detailed technical details on how a satellite navigation system is configured but just briefly describe the principles in the system. 3.3 Maritime Satellite Navigation Satellite navigation is today used in huge amounts and variations of applications i.e. cars, mobile phones, aircraft, tracking devices etc. This chapter briefly contains information about the system used in the maritime environment. A satellite navigation system is a system of satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. It allows electronic receivers, known as Global Satellite Navigators, to determine the location of a vessel (longitude, latitude, and altitude) to high precision (within a few meters) using time signals transmitted along a line of sight by radio from satellites. The signals also allow the Satellite Navigator to calculate the current local time to high precision, which allows time synchronisation. Global coverage for each system is generally achieved by a satellite constellation of medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites spread between several orbital planes. The actual systems vary, but typically orbital inclinations of >50 and orbital periods of 11 hours, 58 minutes and 2 seconds at an altitude of about 20,200 kilometres are used (see example of satellite constellation in figure 1 page 4). 5

6 Fig. 2 - GPS Satellite The position of the vessel on the surface of the planet is calculated by the Satellite Navigator from simultaneous reception of signals from several satellites. Position accuracy improves when more satellites signals are received. A Satellite Navigator monitors multiple satellites and solves equations to determine the exact position of the receiver and its deviation from true time. At a minimum, four satellites must be in view of the receiver for it to compute four unknown quantities (three position coordinates and clock deviation from satellite time). The Satellite Navigator also measures the Doppler Effect (or Doppler Shift), which is the change in frequency of the radio wave received from the satellite. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession. An ambulance driving past you with its siren on illustrates the phenomena very well! Fig. 3 - Minimum constellation of satellites for precise position fix 6

7 The frequency of radio signals from the satellite is 1.2 GHz and 1.6 GHz. Like any other radio signal, environmental and external sources may influence it. Disturbance of the radio signals received from the satellites can be caused by atmospheric disturbances but also by multipath effects caused by incorrect installation of the GPS receiver antenna. The latter situation is compensated by a prober installation whilst other parameters are compensated for in the various filters and settings in the Satellite Navigator on board the vessel. To further increase the accuracy of the position of the vessel some Satellite Navigators are able to receive correction signals from reference stations within sight of the Satellite Navigator. Such Satellite Navigators are called Differential Satellite Navigators. Differential Global Positioning Navigation is an enhancement to Satellite Navigation Systems that provides improved location accuracy, from 15-meter nominal accuracy to about 1 meter in case of the best implementation. These stations broadcast the difference between the measured satellite pseudo ranges and actual (internally computed) pseudo ranges, so a vessel s Satellite Navigator may correct their pseudo ranges by the same amount. The digital correction signal is typically broadcast locally over ground-based transmitters of shorter range. Correction radio signals from these onshore reference stations are however influenced by reflections caused by passing from landmass over sea as well as distance between vessel and reference station. Another means of correction methods is the Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS). The SBAS concept is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements by accurately-located reference stations deployed across an entire continent. The GNSS errors are transferred to a computing center, which calculate differential corrections and integrity messages, which are then broadcast over the continent using geostationary satellites as an augmentation or overlay of the original GNSS message. SBAS messages are broadcast via geostationary satellites able to cover vast areas. Several countries have implemented their own SBAS system. Europe has the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) which covers the EU and possibly beyond. The USA has its Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Japan is covered by its Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS). India has launched its own SBAS program named GPS and GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) to cover the Indian subcontinent. 7

8 Both Korea (2013) and China (2014) have announced plans to start their own SBAS implementation. Fig. 4 - Example of SBAS providers To be able to benefit from all the above mentioned tools for precise and safe positioning by satellite you will need a satellite navigation receiver that is ready and designed for features such as: Receiving data from satellites Receiving data from various satellite systems for redundancy Receiving correction data from onshore differential reference stations Receiving satellite based correction data from various systems depending on operating area. Offering all of the above and some extras, Cobham SATCOM is now launching the: SAILOR 656X GNSS Global Satellite Navigation Receiver SAILOR 657X DGNSS Differential Global Satellite Navigation receiver 8

9 4 SAILOR 656X GNSS & SAILOR 657X DGNSS The all-new SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS increase the safety of operation in a congested wheel house. They improve accuracy of position data received. A unique blackbox, network integrated design reduces the investment in the amount of equipment needed while simplifying installation and maintenance. The SAILOR 656X GNSS and the SAILOR 657X DGNSS collect satellite data from any available navigation satellites including GPS and GLONASS and distribute it to a variety of on board systems such as: ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display System) INS (Integrated Navigation System) GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress & Safety System) SATCOM (Satellite Communication System) MCS (Master Clock Systems) PABX (Telephone Exchanges) and many others! Fig. 5 - Example of Integrated Navigation System (INS) 9

10 4.1 SAILOR 656X GNSS & SAILOR 657X DGNSS CONFIGURATION The SAILOR 656X GNSS and the SAILOR 657X DGNSS setup consists of only a few units to form a complete full functional system. The size and weight of each unit in the system makes it possible to install it on basically any size of vessel and in any convenient place. The full configuration of the versions is illustrated in figure 6. Please see table for details on Basic and System configuration. The SAILOR 6561 GNSS Basic and SAILOR 6571 DGNSS Basic are supplied as black box systems including: SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna for SAILOR 6561 GNSS Basic or SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna for SAILOR 6571 DGNSS Basic. The SAILOR 6560 GNSS System and SAILOR 6570 DGNSS System are supplied as complete systems including: SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver SAILOR 6004 Control Panel SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna for SAILOR 6560 GNSS System or SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna for SAILOR 6570 DGNSS System. The SAILOR Basic configuration is typically used in a LAN set up with external equipment, where configuration is carried out. In addition to the Basic configuration the SAILOR System configuration is supplied with one SAILOR 6004 Control Panel from where the set-up is done and from where an implemented network consisting of i.e. SAILOR 639X NAVTEX and SAILOR 628X AIS can be selected. The units use the IEC protocol, also called Light Weight Ethernet (LWE), for communication. LWE is a maritime standard for carrying NMEA sentences over Ethernet. LWE uses UDP Multicast to communicate with other LWE equipment. Type approval of interconnection with external equipment depends on the interfaces and protocols available. 10

In addition the receiver is prepared for additional GNSS signals when i.e. GALILEO (EU) is finally up and running. The SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver is the Black Box in the system. The receiver forms the Junction Box of all cabling from antenna, power supply, control panel, data interface output, data interface input and LAN connection, and as such act as the central unit in the system. The size and weight of the receiver makes it possible to install the unit in any convenient place including inside existing bridge consoles. Accuracy of satellite data (position, velocity and time) is of course important for many reasons; safe and cost effective ocean navigation, the updating of communication equipment 11

12 connected to SAILOR 6588 Receiver. Satellite data becomes of paramount importance when navigating in narrow waters also. The SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver will fulfil these requirements as the satellite data received is further improved by adding corrections by means of SBAS from the previously described services, which can be selected manually or automatically. WAAS - (Wide Area Augmentation System) United States EGNOS - (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) Europe MSAS (MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) Japan GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) India SDCM System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring) Russia When configured to do so, the SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver will automatically select the most suitable correction system. Fig. 7 - SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna The SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna is a Global Navigation Antenna that is able to receive satellite data from both GPS (US) and GLONASS (Russia) Global Navigation Satellite System. In addition the antenna is prepared for reception of additional GNSS signals when i.e. GALILEO (EU) is finally up and running. Together with the SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver the SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna forms the SAILOR 656X GNSS version. The SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna is an active antenna meaning that the antenna itself contains active electronic components. The power to the antenna is 5V and is fed from the SAILOR 6588 Receiver via the antenna cable. The antenna is compact, robust and waterproof (IPX6 & IPX8). 12

13 The recommended antenna cable between the SAILOR 6285 Antenna and SAILOR 6588 Receiver is a standard coax (RG214 or better). For very long antenna cables, please consult cable supplier s data sheet for calculation of signal loss in the cable. The SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna is supplied with a bracket for mounting on pipe 1 x 14 TPI Fig. 8 - SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna - Differential The SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna is an enhancement to the SAILOR 6285 GNSS Antenna. It can utilise a global network of ground-based reference stations for improved position accuracy. The ground-based reference stations compare their known fixed positions with the positions calculated from the received GNSS satellite signals. The differences are transmitted via radio beacons to the SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna / Receiver, which can use them to calculate a more precise position. In order to be able to apply high-quality corrections, the selected reference station must be near the DGNSS antenna to ensure that they both observe roughly the same GNSS satellites. Together with the SAILOR 6588 DGNSS Receiver the SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna forms the SAILOR 65XX DGNSS version. With its ability to receive differential correction signals from reference stations, the SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna is a design that saves space on the antenna mast and requires no additional cabling, so can reduce installation time and costs also. The SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna is an active antenna meaning that the antenna itself contains active electronic components. The power to the antenna is 5V and is fed from the SAILOR 6588 Receiver via the antenna cable. 13

14 The antenna is compact, robust and waterproof (IPX6 & IPX8). The recommended antenna cable between the SAILOR 6285 Antenna and SAILOR 6588 Receiver is a standard coax (RG214 or better). For very long antenna cables, please consult cable supplier s data sheet for calculation of signal loss in the cable. The SAILOR 6286 DGNSS Antenna is supplied with a bracket for mounting on pipe 1 x 14 TPI Fig. 9 - SAILOR 6286 GNSS Antenna SAILOR 6004 Control Panel The SAILOR 6004 Control Panel adds unique and extremely user friendly features to the SAILOR 6561 GNSS and SAILOR 6571 DGNSS System The high definition 7 colour TFT display features touch screen operation making it very easy to operate. It provides an instant overview of settings and valuable information from the system and all products connected to it. 14

15 From the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel, the user can select various settings and presentations: Menu screen with quick selection of presentations Position screen with all relevant status information and satellite information Quality screen with position quality information (RAIM, GNSS satellites, Beacons etc.) DGNSS beacon database and selection Trip Counter screen Anchor Watch screen Settings screen for position parameter, satellite parameter and alarms Fig Example of Menu Screen The SAILOR 6004 Control Panel connects to the SAILOR 6588 DGNSS receiver by a single CAT5E LAN Cable (5 m included with unit). 5 SAILOR Integration The SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS extend the SAILOR range of integrated equipment the SAILOR Multi-Function Universe and thereby improve the safe and efficient operation of the important information systems provided for vessel navigators. The already available SAILOR 6391 Navtex and SAILOR 628X AIS can be operated from the same touch screen as the SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS. Operation of all systems connected to the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel is easy; just select the icon for the product as you would an app on any touchscreen device, to be given full control of all setup, functions and diagnostics. Another unique Multifunction feature implemented with the SAILOR range of integrated equipment is the capability of having more than one SAILOR 6004 Control Panel installed in the Bridge i.e. in Conning Console, Bridge Wing Console, Aft Console, GMDSS Console, ECR (Engine Control Room), CCR (Central Control Room) etc. From each individual position it is 15

16 possible to use the SAILOR 6004 Control panel to monitor and operate all features of equipment connected to it. This gives the SAILOR solution a major competitive edge in the market: It saves space on the bridge and introduces complete mobility of the applications/products so they can be accessed where needed. And of course, the network integrated approach makes the solution very price competitive in the market. Below is an example of such a network installation. Both 7 displays will be able to function as Control Units for the SAILOR 65XX GNSS / DGNSS, SAILOR 6280 AIS and the SAILOR 6391 NAVTEX. Fig SAILOR Integration Using LWE as the connection to the Control panel also introduces the opportunity to operate the SAILOR 65XX GNSS / DGNSS, SAILOR 6280 AIS and SAILOR 6391 NAVTEX from NON- SAILOR equipment. This is of course a matter of connected approvals, but displaying the AIS information from the SAILOR 628X AIS on e.g. different ECDIS units will be an option. 6 GNSS/DGNSS Market Overview According to the distinction provided by IMO Resolution A.915(22), GNSS applications can be split into navigation and positioning. The target for Cobham SATCOM is concentrated on the maritime part although graphics illustrated in this section indicates other GNSS markets as well i.e. GNSS used in EPIRB s, GNSS used in Traffic Management etc. SOLAS vessels: All passenger ships and cargo ships larger than 500 gross tonnage (300 tons for international voyages) are regulated and rely heavily on GNSS for 16

17 navigation. At least three devices are typically fitted on vessels for redundancy reasons. Non-SOLAS vessels: GNSS systems for maritime navigation are widespread across commercial and recreational vessels, both overseas and in high traffic areas. Inland Waterways (IWW): GNSS is also used to ensure safe navigation in inland waterways (rivers, canals, lakes and estuaries) The global number of vessels (as of May 2015) is estimated as follows: Market Number of vessels Merchant Vessels 81,500 Since not all vessels are passenger ships or cargo ships larger than 500 gross tonnages (300 tons for international voyages) the market is estimated to total 80% of the above. Fishing Vessels 2,700,000 Fishing vessels are not calculated as a main target but large factory trawlers, purse seiners or similar should be considered as a market for precise navigation tools, due to very sophisticated accurate fish finding equipment. IWW Vessels 529,000 Inland Water Way vessels are not considered as a main target but SAILOR 656X GNSS / DGNSS is approved for these narrow waters as well. Recreational Vessels 29,000,000 Recreational vessels are huge in numbers but targets would be limited to luxury yachts / super yachts. 6.1 GNSS market in a glance (Information from European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency, Market Report March 2015) Installed base of GNSS devices by application 17

19 6.2 Competitors Manufacturers of Satellite Navigators are plenty; manufactures of satellite receivers are less and manufacturers of satellite receivers for GPS, GLONASS and EGNOS etc. with the purpose of providing accurate satellite data as a receiver/sensor are few. With the SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS, Cobham SATCOM is among the latter in the professional category of manufacturers of equipment for professional users. The SAILOR 65XX GNSS / DGNSS receiver design has been focused on the capability to provide the best possible and most reliable satellite data position, time and velocity for the navigator. Rather than being a satellite navigator with route functions, waypoints, highway display etc., the SAILOR 65XX GNSS /DGNSS receiver has a huge amount of predefined and user configurable settings. These settings maximise the quality of satellite data calculations, they provide alerts and warnings for deterioration in important parameters and act as a vital part of the overall safe handling of any type of vessels. The brand and number of competitors will of course vary from region to region, but in general they can be divided in to: Merchant Navigation FURUNO (IMO) SAAB (IMO) KODEN (IMO) SIMRAD (IMO) Fishing Vessels FURUNO KODEN SIMRAD JRC JMC IWW Navigation FURUNO (IMO) SAAB (IMO) KODEN (IMO) SIMRAD (IMO) Recreational Navigation FURUNO KODEN SIMRAD JRC JMC GARMIN RAYMARINE SUZUKI HUMMINBIRD COMNAV SUNHANG MATSUTEC OVA and some important comparisons can be made as follows: 19

By receiving satellite data from both GPS and GLONASS GNSS Systems, or both systems at the same time, the SAILOR 65XX GNSS/DGNSS provides a very high degree of redundancy and safety. Being prepared for upgrade to coming GNSS i.e. EGNOS, BeiDou, Galileo the SAILOR 65XX GNSS/DGNSS ensure compatibility for future use without the need to re-invest in new hardware. Using the same Below Deck Unit (BDU) for both SAILOR 656X GNSS and SAILOR 657X DGNSS enables cost effective and quick possible upgrade from standard to Differential GNSS. Only the antenna needs to be changed. Installing the SAILOR 65XX GNSS/DGNSS System together with the SAILOR 6280 AIS System and SAILOR 6391 NAVTEX System in the network provides a unique feature of displaying all information on i.e. ECDIS or on the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel and Multifunction Touch Screen. The capability for the SAILOR 65XX GNSS/DGNSS System to make use of differential corrections from SBAS (EGNOS, MSAS, WAAS, GAGAN and SDCM, RTCM SC-104), to 20

21 use RAIM calculation for position quality, to automatically select Radio Beacon stations etc. provides the best available satellite data and handling of satellite data. In addition to the sophisticated handling of satellite data and calculations, the user has the possibility of configuring various alerts and notifications i.e. Anchor Watch, HDOP, RAIM Status, Differential Integrity Status etc. all in accordance with MSC.302. The SAILOR 6004 Control Panel offers a very logic and user friendly MMI via the high definition 7 color touch display. Serial inputs and outputs according to IEC /2/450 fully configurable for the user are available in the SAILOR 6588 Receiver (Below Deck Unit). Interface for ThraneLink applications and INS available. Built-In-Self-Test enables onboard test via PC or Control Panel, similar to factory production test to obtain full range of test results. 7 Approvals The GNSS/DGNSS Receiver is approved to MED 2011/75/EU and fulfills the requirements in the Resolutions and Standards. IEC Ed. 2.0, 2003 IEC Ed. 1.0, 1998 IEC Ed. 1.0, 2004 IEC Ed. 4.0, 2010 IEC IEC IEC Ed. 4, 2002 MSC.302(87) IMO Resolution A.915(22) IMO Resolution A.1021(26) IMO Resolution MSC.302(87) IMO Resolution MSC.191(79) IMO Resolution MSC.252(83) The approvals of the GNSS/DGNSS Receiver are constantly monitored as the Global Satellite Navigation System is under continued development. New national approvals will be applied for and granted and new test standards may come into force. Therefore the above list may change. 21
