Navigating in wind farms Risk of false reflection and walk off incidents if Reflector • CyScan not set up correctly target • Poor quality targets are used location Laser PRS operation requirements • Direct line of sight between the laser sensor and reflector • The reflector must ideally be at a similar height to the sensor • The reflector should be well maintained and clean • No other reflectors should be in the vicinity of the target Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com

What is ? Targetless object detection and accurate distance measurement • fixed beam radar sensors operating in the license exempt short range device band of 24GHz Measures range to the nearest object • a warning is output when a potential hazard is detected within user defined protection zones • An accurate range measurement is displayed on the user interface via a web browser Wide beam and narrow fixed beam options • 11°(+/-5.5°) elevation and two options of azimuth beam: 11°(Narrow Beam) and 110° (Wide Beam) Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com

How is raw data processed? All radar return signals are detected – peaks in signal strength Radar Data processed in control box Target tracking algorithm used to monitor and track peaks Can track 10 peaks simultaneously Can Lock onto an interesting peak – largest or nearest Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com
What does raw data look like? RangeGuard “sees” peaks corresponding to the legs FFT Data – Approach to Sub Station Signal Level [dB]] Camera View Range [m] Up to 10 peaks can be tracked simultaneously Can lock onto nearest or biggest peak Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com

DP Integration DP Other system sensors Calculates position using sensor location and range data Data sampled 3 times per second Tracks up to 10 peaks per sensor Outputs Range data Display on bridge DP string format Data sampled 3 Controls thrusters times per second Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com
Benefits of RangeGuard System No targets – uses the environment • Vessel independent of installation • No false reflections • No maintenance • Reduces costs Improves safety • Additional form of redundancy Increases efficiencies • Decreases turnaround times Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com
What’s next? The first vessel to have RangeGuard fully DP integrated will be ready to sail in 2016 – the Windea La Cour Tel: +44 116 229 2600 Web: www.guidance.eu.com
