The CyScan System is based on a high accuracy laser sensor and provides positional 
information to allow automated approach and/or station keeping relative to a structure or 
vessel. It requires one or more reflective targets to be attached to the sides of the structure 
or vessel.
The CyScan system is designed to be semi-portable and straightforward to operate. Its 
key elements are:

• 

The 

CyScan Sensor

, with integrated Power Supply Unit, which is mounted on the 

vessel (typically on the wheelhouse) as required.

• 

The 

CyScan Client Software

: The 

CyScan Dashboard

 is a monitoring and control 

application running within Microsoft Windows

TM 

on a Type 3 Marine Processor or 

other computer. This provides the DP operator with status information and control of 
the system and the data stream being fed to the DP system. The 

CyScan Service 

Interface

 is used for system installation and maintenance. This replaces the Service 

Access function in earlier versions of the CyScan Dashboard and Console.

• 

The 

CyScan Targets

. Retro-reflectors consisting of high performance prism clusters  

for longer-range capability.

System Overview

CyScan emits eye-safe infrared light and detects the reflections received back from one or 
more targets mounted on designated structures or vessels. The range and bearing of the 
target(s) are accurately measured, displayed on the Dashboard screen and automatically 
transmitted to the vessel's DP system.
