Targetmaster®

A tool for maritime interdiction. Defined and tested on the water, this navigation aid combines traditional “Maneuvering Board” functions with a highly capable target-tracker.

Driving directions are presented to the coxswain in a simple, easily understood, heads-up display. Targetmaster® controls are tailored to suit the environment.

Targetmaster® combines open-architecture interfaces, embedded firmware, ruggedized hardware, and COTS navigational sensors to provide a flexible, scalable solution. The system can be deployed from stand-alone to fully integrated glass-helm configurations. "Future-proofing" through industry-standard interfaces allows access to state-of-the-art COTS sensor technology.

Engaging a target is accomplished in three simple steps:
• Acquire: with your existing COTS ARPA, AIS targets, or manually entered parameters
• Track: with the integrated tracker that generates real-time navigation solutions
• Intercept: using operator-selected parameters, automatically validated against craft performance and/or current conditions

Features and Benefits
• NMEA 2000, Mil-STD-810F, IP67
• improves intercept precision through continuous updates
• increases mission flexibility by simultaneously tracking multiple targets
• reduces operator workload and enhances situational awareness by automating target dead-reckoning, track updates and projections
• accelerates precise, performance-validated intercept calculations
• increases force agility and responsiveness
• enhances navigator-to-helmsman communication through simple graphical representation of steering cues and lead/lag of the boat and NVIS-compatible HMI
• minimal training required reduces costs
• reduces fielding costs by using existing COTS chart plotters and sensors (Furuno, Garmin, etc.)
• integrated advanced MOB, image-annotation, and meta-data logging capabilities enhance mission scope and capability (option)
