Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Rutter Inc.

$440,000.00

X-Band Radar Wave Prediction

FY 2018-19 · 2018-07-02

Summary
The X-Band Radar Wave Prediction project utilizes standard marine X-band radar to measure the wave field a time T = 0 seconds, and then Rutter Inc. proprietary Wave Prediction algorithms are applied to ‘propagate’ the measured wave field at T = 0 seconds to a future time, i.e. T + 30 seconds or T + 60 seconds. This processing occurs in real-time, i.e. a new result is generated with every rotation of the radar antenna. Propagated wave information may be used as input to various control systems employed in the marine environment, such as Helideck Landing Systems, Vessel Hull Response Modelling Systems or Dynamic Position Systems, to name just a few examples.

Description
The X-Band Radar Wave Prediction project utilizes standard marine X-band radar to measure the wave field a time T = 0 seconds, and then Rutter Inc. proprietary Wave Prediction algorithms are applied to ‘propagate’ the measured wave field at T = 0 seconds to a future time, i.e. T + 30 seconds or T + 60 seconds.

Description (French)
Le projet de prédiction d'ondes radar à bande X utilise un radar de bande X marin standard pour mesurer le champ d'ondes T = 0 seconde, puis les algorithmes de prédiction d'ondes propriétaires de Rutter Inc. sont utilisés pour "propager" le champ d'onde mesuré à T = 0 seconde à une heure future, c'est-à-dire T + 30 secondes ou T + 60 secondes. Ce traitement se produit en temps réel, c'est-à-dire qu'un nouveau résultat est généré à chaque rotation de l'antenne radar. Les informations sur les ondes propagées peuvent être utilisées comme données d'entrée dans divers systèmes de contrôle utilisés dans l'environnement marin, tels que les systèmes d'atterrissage Helideck, les systèmes de modélisation de la réponse de la coque de vaisseau ou les systèmes de positionnement dynamique, pour ne citer que quelques exemples.
