The biggest challenge military vessels and crew face is the ability to perform in severe weather and heavy seas. Thanks to Seakeeper's new gyro, zero-speed and underway stabilization is now available to the various military branches. Like the control moment gyros used to position space craft, a high speed flywheel spins in a near vacuum eliminating air friction and making for low power consumption and weight. With nothing external to get damaged or add drag, while at the same time virtually eliminating annoying � and sometimes dangerous � zero and low speed boat roll. The many benefits include
- No loss of performance at top end
- Safety for crew and gear aboard
- Increased fuel efficiency
- Minimal scheduled maintenance
- No through-hull protrusions or appendages
- Complete internal installation minimizing external noise
- Small compact design
- Highly effective zero-speed and low speed roll reduction
And because the unit is installed safely inside the hull, where it cannot be damaged by external equipment or the hazards at sea, naval contractors agree Seakeeper gyros offer the simplest, most effective and safest form of stability control. With many types of stabilization choices, only the Seakeeper gyro offers a total anti-roll solution for all aboard � at zero-speed and while underway.
Imagine, a stability control solution that is effective over a wide range of sea states, eliminating crew fatigue, expanding the operational envelope, and facilitating everything from the discharge of weapons to the enhanced use of high tech equipment to pouring a basic cup of coffee. When other types of stabilizers fail, the Seakeeper gyro is your answer to taming the sea, ensuring safety and optimizing performance.
