NautoPilot 20X5 Series ®

NautoPilot® 20X5 is Raytheon Anschütz’ professional autopilot


series for all commercial ships of 100 m length and above. It is
characterized by the most advanced steering algorithms that
ensure accurate steering with fewest rudder actions to keep the
ship on a preset heading. Thus the NP 20X5 series reduces wear
and tear on the steering gear and reduces fuel consumption –
an important factor these days. NP 20X5 pays for itself. Your Benefit
• Precise steering
• Cost savings in reduced fuel consumption
• Reliable technology already installed on
thousands of ships
• Suitable for a wide range of ship types, even
High Speed Craft
• Qualifies as track control system Category
B or C in combination with ECDIS
The Autopilot Remote Control Panel can be
• Seamless integration into navigation system
installed at the Radar or ECDIS workstation
• Ease of use and clear data display
where the navigation data is displayed. The
tiller allows manual override at any time.

Features

NP 20X5 offers excellent steering properties and can easily be


adjusted to all ship types, even to High Speed Craft (HSC). The

depending on the sea area. In Economy mode, the number of
rudder actions are noticeably reduced with a positive effect on
ship’s fuel consumption.
The NP 20X5 series can be seamlessly integrated into a naviga-
tional system. Various in- and output interfaces come standard.
Tillers and an Autopilot Remote Control Panel can be connected
directly to the autopilot. It is also possible to connect a rate-of-
turn tiller and a rate-of-turn gyro for river navigation. In com-
bination with Raytheon Anschütz ECDIS, the autopilot becomes
an approved track control system.
