computes a wide range of naviga- tional data, including range/bearing on either Great Circle or Rhumb

Line course, set and drift, and dis- tance run, as well as range/bearing, course to steer and time to go to any waypoint. The unit is completely self checking and permits easy entry of both speed and magnetic head- ing. The FSN-90 has standard inter- faces for speed and either gyro or magnetic heading inputs, plus stan- dard outputs to Furuno GD-170 or

GD-2000 video plotters or ZR-394 printer. It will also operate as a hybrid navigation system with eith- er the LC-80 or LC-90 loran receiv- ers.

A built-in keep-alive system pro- tects stored data in case of power failure, and the FSN-90 operates from a standard 12 or 24 VDC sup- ply, requiring just 14 watts.

The company also has an exten- sive line of navigational equipment, including Loran, satnav, and Omega receivers, a variety of paper and vid- eo plotters, several ADFs, and com- pletely automatic weatherfax re- ceivers with either 10- or 14-inch paper widths. Furuno also offers both VHF and SSB communica- tions systems.

HARRIS

Harris Corporation RF Commu- nications Group, a world leader in the design, manufacture, installa- tion, and support of advanced HF/

VHF-FM radio communications equipment, turnkey systems and networks, recently introduced the compact-design RF-755 10 kw HF-

ISB Transmitter for critical long distance communications.

This transmitter is contained in a rack only 32 inches wide, with auto- matic BIT for surveillance of opera- tional readiness and modular-level diagnostic test to isolate any fault.

The RF-7405 or RF-777 Remote

Control Systems may be used, pro- viding remote BIT and operating control. This transmitter may also be housed in a shorter cabinet for shelter installations. When observa- tion of displays is required, but acci- dental control changes are to be pre- vented, an optional front closure panel may be installed.

Also available in a 5-kw version (RF-765), this transmitter is adapt- able to coastal stations, diplomatic networks, shipborne installations, and shelterized or fixed station net- works.

JAPAN RADIO

Japan Radio Company, Ltd., is marketing two new products—the

JLR-4000 GPS Navigator and the

GSC-80 On-Board Data Automatic

Recording System (ODARS).

The GPS NAVSTAR system with timing and ranging is completely new and will eventually use 18 satel- lites to pinpoint a ship's position and speed anywhere in the world with great accuracy. The system currently uses seven satellites now in orbit, allowing measurement of positions for about three to five hours a day. Twenty-four-hour ser- vice will be available in 1987.

The JLR-4000 navigator is said to be one of the most compact and lightweight units in the world, with a unique time-sharing feature. As the GPS navigator receives signals from four satellites to measure a position, four or five receiving chan- nels would normally be required.

However, the time-sharing system developed by JRC permits the re- ceiver to receive the signals from all four satellites on a single channel for instant position fixing. The GPS receiver determines not only lati- tude, longitude, speed, and bear- ing—the basic functions—but it can also indicate such navigational data in memory as destination, bearing and distance to destination, re- quired time to it, off-course alarm, etc.

The GSC-80 ODARS has been developed to meet demands for au- tomated data communications through the INMARSAT from ship to shore. It is an automatic data reporting system to collect various types of onboard information and to automatically transmit the newest data to the shipowner's office ashore via the INMARSAT telex link.

The system consists of a multi- data interface and a telex channel interface that are connected to an existing or new INMARSAT ship earth station. The GSC-80 can transmit data to shore using three modes—fully automatic, semiauto- matic, and manual. The onboard data received at the shore office is analyzed and processed to send a relevant sailing plan back to the ship.
