The R5 NAV DGNSS Sensor from Saab utilizes dual-frequency GPS signals along with correctional data to achieve high-precision positioning for maritime applications. The sensor enhances the reliability of GPS data, making it an essential tool for vessels operating in areas with poor or intermittent satellite coverage. By using differential GPS corrections, the R5 sensor delivers consistent accuracy, improving the vessel’s ability to maintain course and avoid hazards. Regular maintenance and updates are crucial to ensure the sensor remains responsive to environmental changes such as obstructions or interference from other signals. It’s a critical component in ensuring a vessel’s safe navigation, especially in congested or remote areas where traditional GPS data may not be sufficient.
