OBSERVATOR HMS 3.0 system assists the 'RAWABI 506' vessel

The 'RAWABI 506' is 90 meters long, 23 meters wide, and 8.5 meters deep, designed to have a draft of 6.2 meters and a cruising speed of 10 knots. It is classified by ABS American Bureau of Shipping and can operate in unlimited navigation areas. This vessel can carry supplies and consumables needed for continuous operation for 28 days, is equipped with DP-2 dynamic positioning capability, a 70-ton marine crane, and other advanced equipment, including a helicopter platform. The helicopter deck is equipped with the OBSERVATOR HMS3.0 system, which aims to provide comprehensive meteorological data for helicopter takeoffs and landings, ensuring the safety of helicopter operations and personnel.

Compared to the previous version, HMS3.0 is designed to be more compact and based on the principles of Observator OIC (Meote link), allowing various sensors to connect directly to the central processing unit, which reduces wiring during installation and significantly lowers costs for users. The HMS3.0 provided by OBSERVATOR can interface with a wide range of meteorological sensors, including wind direction, wind speed, helicopter deck air pressure, atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, visibility, dynamics, cloud height, wave height, and status lights. The HMS 3.0 offered by OBSERVATOR is widely used in drilling platforms, FPSOs, buildings, helicopter landing sites, wind farms, and various types of ships. The OBSERVATOR HMS 3.0 is based on the latest requirements of CAP-437, which is the standard for offshore helicopter landing areas, 9th edition. Additionally, the system complies with the latest requirements for helicopter platform certification authorities (HCA) as described in the standard helicopter platform monitoring system Rev9C.

Meteorological sensors are devices that can sense, measure, and convert various physical and chemical quantities in the atmosphere. They are core components of meteorological stations and helicopter platform environmental monitoring systems, responsible for transforming natural meteorological elements (such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure) into electrical or digital signals that can be recorded, transmitted, and analyzed. In simple terms, they serve as the 'sensory organs' of modern meteorology and environmental science, providing us with accurate, real-time data foundations.

System configuration is as follows:

● Status lights

● Wind speed and direction sensor

● Temperature and humidity sensor

● Air pressure sensor

● Attitude sensor

● Visibility sensor

● Cloud height sensor
