Enhanced usability with the OpenBridge design

In addition to the latest advanced electronics, the new MFD also introduces a new graphical user interface (GUI) based on the OpenBridge design guideline. From the very beginning, JRC | Alphatron Marine has been an active member of the OpenBridge community and has contributed to creating a standardized user experience for marine systems. This commitment ensures greater familiarity between products, reducing user errors and improving safety on the bridge.

The result is an icon-based interface with streamlined menus and special functions in clear color palettes, whether the MFD is used during the day, at dusk or at night. Operators can perform their daily tasks more efficiently, whether it's planning routes, tracking targets, switching between systems or monitoring alarms. With the new GUI, navigation is not only easier, but also safer and more consistent across the entire bridge.

Future-proof navigation with a new generation of radars

The new MFD is designed with the future in mind and evolves with your vessel. Alongside this Ocean Explorer 3 platform, we are introducing our latest solid-state X- & S-band network radar scanners. By transmitting radar data via Ethernet, these scanners offer powerful new capabilities and features.

Operators can now merge radar images from multiple scanners to avoid obstacles, place MFDs in different locations on the vessel, use the same data and gain better situational awareness. Seamless integration with other bridge components further enhances safety and efficiency, making radar not just a tool, but a smarter, more connected part of the bridge ecosystem.

Always ready for the future with Ocean Explorer 3

With Ocean Explorer 3, your bridge grows with the challenges of today and tomorrow. The products meet the latest cybersecurity standard (IACS E27) for the maritime industry, providing optimal protection against digital threats. Throughout their entire lifecycle, new features and updates are seamlessly delivered via J-Cloud, JRC's cloud solution, keeping your systems up to date and your operations ready for the challenges ahead.

This makes the Ocean Explorer 3 series a truly versatile and future-proof platform, tailored to any type of vessel and any market. At the heart of this innovation is the new JRC MFD, which redefines navigation, making it more interactive, intuitive and reliable, while maintaining the uncompromising quality that has always characterized JRC.
