NOW THE WATCH OFFICER

HAS A LOT LESS TO WATCH...

BECAUSE SPERRY KNOWS HOW TO LISTEN.

For the first time, every essential element needed by the watch officer for total ship course control is centered in one console—the Sperry SRP-2000 Ship Control

System. Information formerly obtained from annuncia- tors, remote indicators and communication relays is now displayed at this one control center using Sperry's advanced design concepts and digital microprocessor technology.

The SRP-2000 is an integral adaptive autopilot giving unparalleled fuel savings through precise monitoring of sea conditions by continually adjusting system gain settings for optimal steering.

In automatic navigation mode, the SRP-2000 provides route planning and automatic route tracking, based on

SATNAV, LORAN, or manual fix inputs. These functions improve fuel efficiency by minimizing route distance.

As a ship control center, it displays real-time alpha- numeric readout of all navigation data and steering system conditions, at the touch of a button.

To free the watch officer for his command function, there is a fingertip call-up of step-by-step operating proce- c SPfcHHY COHPOHAt ION 1983 dures for all normal, emergency and troubleshooting conditions.

The Sperry SRP-2000 Ship Control System provides the ultimate in fuel efficiency, functional information display and simplicity of control, without extra modules or add-ons.
