Overview

Modern bridge operations require seamless integration of multiple sensors and systems. Radar provides collision avoidance. ECDIS displays electronic charts and routes. AIS identifies nearby vessels. Speed logs, depth sounders, wind sensors, and gyrocompasses provide critical navigation data.

Fieldbase specializes in integrated bridge solutions that combine equipment from leading manufacturers into cohesive navigation systems.

Our marine electronics engineers assess your vessel's needs, specify compatible equipment, design data networks, install systems professionally, and ensure everything communicates properly.

Connected bridge technology

Radar + ECDIS Integration

Overlay radar targets directly on electronic chart displays. See vessels detected by radar plotted on your chart in real-time, making it easy to identify collision risks, plan avoidance maneuvers, and maintain situational awareness.

Benefits

  • Instantly see radar targets in geographic context

  • Identify vessels by name (AIS integration)

  • Track target courses and speeds relative to chart

  • Simplify watchkeeping with unified display

AIS + ECDIS Integration

AIS displays vessel identity, position, course, speed, and destination on your electronic chart. Click any AIS target to see detailed information—vessel name, MMSI, cargo type, dimensions, destination port.

Safety Benefits Includes

  • Identify vessels by name before VHF contact

  • Assess collision risk with CPA/TCPA calculations

  • Monitor traffic density and patterns

  • Coordinate with VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) using shared AIS data

Sensor Integration

Navigation sensors feed data to radar, ECDIS, and autopilot systems:

  • GPS: Position, speed over ground, course over ground

  • Gyrocompass: True heading

  • Speed Log: Speed through water

  • Depth Sounder: Depth under keel

  • Wind Sensor: True and apparent wind speed/direction

  • Rate of Turn Indicator: Turning rate for maneuvering
