R6 NEO High accuracy Heading and Positioning with Inertial support

Available Q1 2024
R6 NEO is Saab’s latest navigation system designed to meet NeoPanamax requirements for Panama Canal passage. It utilizes advanced technology for precise ship movement information. The NEO system is an integral SOLAS-approved heading sensor for daily navigation while satisfying Panama requirements. It offers centimeter RTK-based navigation, accurate Rate-Of-Turn and heading measurements, and optional SOLAS-approved Speed log and Rate-Of-Turn functionality.

Starting from October 1, 2023, the Panama Canal has revised its pilot management regulations adding charges on shipping companies that do not equip their Neopanamax vessels, measuring over 107 ft. beam length, with a fixed piloting unit with Real Time Kinematics (RTK) for submeter accuracy.
