NACOS

NACOS stands for Navigation and Command System.

NACOS is a fully integrated unit. It integrates RADAR, ECDIS, AUTOPILOT, AIS and VDR with the help from CANbus and LAN.

Now, SAM Electronics uses the word ”Workstation” about every single module instead of the traditional breakdown of the systems.

It is the philosophy that the navigator on duty should be able to get validated data in a simple and clear way depending on the situation. The navigator should also be able to manoeuvre the ship from this position.

With an integrated bridge from SAM Electronics you have all the features that characterizes a class approved IBS system. Furthermore, SAM Electronics has developed some features that are unique and increases the safety at sea.

  • Curved heading line
  • Predicted path
  • Chartradar
  • Multipilot - Approved ECDIS and radar in one system.
  • Full integration of AIS and VDR

SAM Electronics equipment is not the cheapest at the market. On the other hand, it will be clear, that the money has been used well, when you have the equipment in your hands. It is German quality.

You chose a NACOS system when you want to obtain: big reliability, a minimization of the risk of running aground and collisions and when you want to restrict your expenses for maintenance.

This is also one of the reasons why SAM Electronics has delivered more than 70% of all integrated bridge systems in the cruise segment.
