Navigation and Surveillance

The Navigation & Surveillance module is built on the EC2007 ECDIS Kernel, delivering a complete foundation for type-approved ECDIS systems and custom navigational chart applications. Designed for reliability and integration, it enables precise monitoring, control, and maritime decision-making.
