Simrad NAC-2 VRF Virtual Rudder Feedback Core Pack

Description

The Simrad NAC-2 VRF Virtual Rudder Feedback Core Pack delivers accurate automated steering control engineered to resolve dangerous course drift and manual helm strain on mid-size single or twin outboard center consoles, bay boats, and runabouts. Running on an adaptive 12 Volts DC or 24 Volts DC electrical system, this autopilot course computer pack manages hydraulic steering cylinders smoothly to lock in your heading. Captains can focus completely on trolling lines or navigating shallow coastal shelves while the virtual feedback matrix tracks position changes flawlessly.

Equipped with a solid-state Precision-9 9-Axis Attitude Heading Reference System, the internal gyro sensors track static and dynamic vessel movements to a tight plus or minus 1-degree tolerance. The advanced Virtual Rudder Feedback algorithm calculates rudder angles continuously based on hull dynamics, removing the need for a mechanical feedback arm that can snap or fail in harsh marine environments. Procuring this compact core pack upgrades overall foredeck navigational safety and protects corporate charter cash flows from unexpected site downtime.

Key Features of Simrad NAC-2 VRF

• Autopilot Course Computer Pack Integration combines the NAC-2 computer, Precision-9 compass, and a complete N2K starter kit into an all-in-one steering hub.
