Radar, navigation and attitude data are aligned before a stabilized camera command is calculated.<\/p><\/div>\n
5. Mechanical, Environmental and Network Design<\/h2>\n
A vessel installation must address vibration, shock, salt atmosphere, water ingress, wind, corrosion, electromagnetic compatibility, cable movement, maintainability and safe access. Product environmental ratings should be verified against the actual installation and the required evidence; a housing rating alone does not establish complete system qualification. The network design should provide deterministic enough delivery for tracks, navigation data and commands, with monitoring for loss, delay and clock offset. Local recording can protect evidence during intermittent backhaul. Cybersecurity and segregation should align with the vessel owner\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n
6. Sea-Trial Acceptance<\/h2>\n
Begin with alongside and harbour checks: coordinates, heading, attitude, time, map alignment, PTU feedback and static reference points. Sea trials should then include straight runs, turns, acceleration and deceleration, different headings to sea, agreed sea states and representative target approaches: bow, beam, stern, crossing and near-horizon. Measure detection opportunities, track initiation, continuity through manoeuvres, position residual, update and data age, nuisance tracks, radar-to-camera acquisition, loss\/reacquisition and degraded navigation inputs. Preserve raw logs, truth\/reference data, weather and sea state, vessel motion, configuration and software versions. No single calm-water pass proves operational performance.<\/p>\n

Sea trials cover vessel manoeuvres, target aspects, clutter sectors and degraded inputs.<\/p><\/div>\n
7. Vessel Integration Data Package and Sea-Trial Gate<\/h2>\n
A vessel-based project needs a controlled integration data package before equipment is mounted. Provide general arrangement and mast drawings, deck and superstructure masks, candidate radar and EO\/IR positions, antenna and navigation-reference lever arms, vessel axes, heading and attitude conventions, height and geographic datums, expected vibration and shock, wind exposure, salt and water-ingress conditions, cable routes, grounding, electromagnetic-compatibility constraints, maintenance access and safe lifting plan. For every navigation or motion input, record the source, message or interface, units, sign, reference frame, update rate, latency, timestamp, accuracy, quality flag, selection and failover logic. Define the common time source and how clock offset and data age will be monitored. The operational requirement should state target classes, approach aspects, height region, sea states, vessel speeds and manoeuvres, clutter sectors, track continuity, update and position criteria, EO\/IR target-in-frame and usable-image criteria, alarm and evidence outputs, and degraded behavior when position, heading or attitude is lost. FAT should replay synchronized radar, navigation and attitude data, including delayed, missing and inconsistent inputs, and verify coordinate transformations, lever arms, boresight, PTU commands, feedback, logs and recovery. Harbour acceptance should use surveyed static references before sea trials. Sea trials should cover straight runs, turns, acceleration, different headings to sea, bow\/beam\/stern\/crossing approaches, near-horizon geometry, agreed sea states and representative nuisance traffic. Release requires traceable data alignment, repeatable target acquisition, documented masks and limitations, acceptable performance during agreed manoeuvres, and a safe degraded mode. A conditional release must identify the manoeuvre, sea state, sector or input that is restricted. Stop when reference frames or timestamps remain ambiguous, navigation quality cannot be monitored, structural or environmental suitability is unverified, EO\/IR stabilization feedback is unavailable, or one calm-water run is the only evidence. IMO and IEC shipborne-radar references may inform engineering discipline, but they do not certify this drone-detection installation.<\/p>\n
