NAVIGAT 2500 CompassNet

Long term reliable operation for lower cost.

Today’s vessel operational requirements vary vastly from ship to ship. Common to all is the need for a heading sensor
that allows continuous safe vessel operation at an affordable price point. Choosing the appropriate heading sensor
technology helps to minimise the risk of operational disruption, lower the cost and allow for the most flexible
operation pattern.
Our unique low drift, fast settling networked fiber optic gyro compass NAVIGAT 2500 provide operators with a highly
reliable heading sensor in a highly competitive priced compass system package. Maintenance free strap-down FOG
technology forgoes the need for moving parts or expensive configuration. Delivering our longest running system
endurance to date at a MTBF of 150,000 hrs, wherever you are heading, you can be confident Sperry Marine will
get you there safely, reliably and cost effectively.
