Sigma - Version S6 WaMoS II -Ocean State Monitoring System

sigma S6 wamos II connects to most commercially available marine radars, enabling customers to extract additional value and effectiveness from their existing navigation radar assets.

Rutter can also provide a dedicated high performance radar solution as an input sensor if required. sigma S6 wamos  II can also be combined with other sigma S6 products such as Oil Spill Detection, SeaFusion Data Integration, Ice Navigator™, and Small Target Surveillance System.

Greater Context, Better Decisions
sigma S6 wamos  II is an industry-proven X-band radar-based wave and surface current monitoring system developed by OceanWaveS GmbH. In comparison to conventional wave rider buoys and current profiling devices that generate single point measurements, sigma S6 wamos  II offers the advantages of presenting this information for a broad area, and in a richer context.

In shipborne applications sigma S6 wamos  II’s measurements are constantly refreshed while a vessel is underway, providing real time data relevant to the local operational area as compared to conditions reported at the closest available point of reference. High definition images of wave fields combined with numerical data and intuitive graphical reporting keep the operator well informed in assessing environmental risk and identifying safe operating windows.

As compared to moored sensors, sigma S6 wamos  II provides higher fidelity information with comparable accuracy, at lower lifecycle costs.

Internationally Accepted
In industry-sponsored trials, data comparisons between sigma S6 wamos  II and wave rider buoys have independently verified its accuracy as well as the additional value provided in monitoring a full 360° range.

sigma S6 wamos  II is presently supporting operational decision making applications including offshore construction and operations, MET services, diver support, helideck operations, and navigation in extreme current and sea states.

Long term deployments on several unmanned, remote coastal locations monitoring wave action and correlated coastal erosion attest to its reliability.

OceanWaveS and sigma S6 wamos  II have a large and diverse reference list. Installations can be found throughout the world, including Norway, Denmark, Germany, Thailand, China, Canada and the USA.

360-degree data output that outshines single-point ocean-deployed systems, enhanced wave parameter reading including wave height, length and frequency, as well as the ability to predict wave action up to two minutes into the future.
