Raytheon unveiled its latest surveillance cabin for the oil & gas market during demonstrations in Galveston, Texas, last month. Intended to improve incident management through maritime domain situational awareness, it has a number of potential applications including early warning of collision risk, protecting subsea assets, detecting oil spills, coordinating marine logistics, detecting personnel overboard, managing marine incidents, coordinating rescue, security for the platform, aiding navigation, recording and playing back incidents, and surveying vessel traffic.
According to Raytheon, key benefits of the cabin are: no civil works are needed except for power input; the unit requires a 10ft x 8ft footprint in a safe area; rapid deployment and setting to work with extendable/retractable masts; movable suit operations; remote display options including data links to shore and to support vessels; and option to rent.
The cabin’s standard components include an A60 air-conditioned cabin, C2 dual display operator position, radar & AIS receiver, auto tracker & track correlator, multiple surveillance cameras, VHF DSC radio, and GPS compass. Other features include electronics charts & radar video display, multiple camera display windows, multiple camera control & auto cuing on alarm, correlated AIS and radar track data, and customizable automatic alarms. Options include personnel overboard detection, oil spill detection and metocean data integration.
