The main purpose of the Joystick Autopilot is to provide free vessel
maneuvering in any desired direction, and at mooring and loading
operations.
This system was specially designed for yacht applications when free
maneuvering in the limited space is required.
Vessel control is provided by setting the required fore-and-aft, transverse
control forces and controlling moment by the Shipmaster using the 3-axis
joystick. The required control forces and moment are implemented by
Main Propulsion, Main Steering, Bow and Stern Thrusters. The availability
of Thrust Allocation Algorithms ensures simplified vessel control and
improved safety. Along with a manual vessel control, the JP 3000 provides
semi-automatic heading control, i.e. the JP 3000 automatically holds heading
while the Shipmaster controls the fore-and-aft and transverse vessel motion
without compensating possible vessel rotation, which can occur as a result
of operator's actions. The JP 3000 provides “Hold Position” functionality as
well, i.e. the JP 3000 automatically holds the vessel in a preset position with auto
heading control.
