- Coast guard support
- Polar research supply vessels
- Semi-submersibles
- Well intervention vessels
- Ultra deep water anchor handling
- Shuttle tankers
The RadaScan Dashboard has been logically structured and carefully designed to provide a clear intuitive interface that maximises the opportunities of multi-touch user control and touch screen technology. The innovative user interface enables DPOs to use RadaScan safely and effectively whilst providing optimum positioning performance.
- Ergonomically friendly - user centred design for ease of use and simple target acquisition
- Optional touch screen control
- Minimalist design to reduce operational ambiguity
- Simple, clear and concise numeric range, bearing and heading data
- Sensor control, configuration, alarm handling and data logging functionality
- Control, clarity and complete visibility of the sensor and target(s) operational environment
- DPO is in full control of the system and data stream being fed to the DP system
- Comprehensive user friendly operator's and installer's guides
- Operation friendly day and night mode
The user interface is common across all four sensors, to aid productivity and reduce
cost of ownership.
Microwave sensors (RadaScan and Mini RadaScan) operate with a variety of intelligent microwave targets called responders. Available in a variety of power options to suit the operation, responders can be mounted on a fixed structure, such as an offshore oil-platform for station-keeping, or on another moving vessel for track-and-follow operations.
Responders

Mounting Options
- Guidance Marine provide a universal swivel bracket which is suitable for all responder power and installation options.
Best Practice
Guidance Marine recommends fixed installation for all responders regardless of whether it is a short or long term operation.
The Primary Cell Pack (PCP) has a nominal 24/7 use expected life-time of 12 months under average temperature conditions, therefore the batteries will require replacing. No maintenance is required on the rechargeable responder. For more information click here.
Responders can be purchased directly through Guidance Marine Direct
