MADBrain Secu Pilote Charge

The MADBrain Secu Pilote Charge is a software extension for the MADBrain autopilot system. It is a "Heel Security Pack" designed to enhance your boat's safety by intelligently managing heel.

Its main function is to automatically correct excessive heel by adjusting the boat's trajectory (by luffing or bearing away) before reaching a critical angle. This helps keep the boat stable and secure, especially in sudden gusts.

The system enhances safety by providing proactive and intelligent heel management. By analyzing the boat's movements and wind variations in real time, it allows the MADBrain autopilot to automatically correct excessive heel, thereby reducing the risk of capsizing or uncontrolled broaching in extreme conditions.

The Secu Pilote Charge uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyze the boat's movements in real time (via the MADMotion inertial measurement unit) and wind variations (via the MADMast module). This analysis enables automatic and smooth course corrections to maintain stability.

The MADBrain Secu Pilote Charge is a software package. It is an exclusive function that integrates with the existing MADBrain navigation processor.

In response to sudden gusts, the system automatically corrects excessive heel by adjusting the boat's course (luffing or bearing away) in a smooth and progressive manner. This action is taken before the boat reaches a critical heel angle, ensuring stability and safety.

The Sécu Pilote Charge pack is designed to significantly reduce the risk of capsize or uncontrolled broaches by actively managing excessive heel. It keeps the boat stable and secure even in extreme conditions or when facing strong gusts.

Yes, the MADBrain Autopilot, and by extension its software packs such as Secu Pilote Charge, benefits from continuous evolution through updates. It logs navigations, learns from settings, and adapts its behavior to the boat and sailing style.

Proactive heel management enables more comfortable and stable sailing, even in rough seas or gusty conditions. It reduces stress on the steering system, lowers energy consumption, and ensures smooth, balanced handling, pushing the limits of performance and safety.

Yes, although originally developed for offshore racing, the MADBrain technology, including the Secu Pilote Charge, is accessible and widely adopted on a wide range of boats, such as cruising catamarans, IRC monohulls, and superyachts, to enhance safety and performance.

The MADBrain technology stems from over 10 years of experience and victories in offshore racing. It has been adopted by top skippers in IMOCA, Ocean Fifty, Ultim, Class40 and Mini 6.50 classes, demonstrating its reliability and high performance.

No, the MADBrain Autopilot and its software packs, including Secu Pilote Charge, do not require any additional subscription.

Yes, the MADBrain Autopilot is designed to evolve continuously. It records your navigations, learns from your settings, and adapts its behavior to your boat and your sailing style thanks to its artificial intelligence algorithms.

The MADBrain Secu Pilote Charge is a software extension for the MADBrain autopilot system. It requires a MADBrain navigation processor, the MADMotion inertial measurement unit, and the MADMast wind acquisition module to operate optimally.

Yes, the MADBrain system is designed for native integration with the NMEA 2000 network. It is compatible with standard sensors and displays from major brands on the market, such as GPS, compasses, multifunction displays, and speed/depth transducers.

The MADBrain Autopilot is compatible with major brands via native integration with the NMEA 2000 network. This includes equipment from brands such as B&G, Garmin, and Raymarine for GPS, compasses, multifunction displays, as well as Airmar for transducers.

The MADController, the linear actuator's power unit in the MADBrain system, is compatible with any electric or hydraulic linear actuator. It can control linear or rotary actuators and is compatible with 12V and 24V systems.

Yes, MADBrain technology is widely adopted across a broad range of vessels, including cruising catamarans and IRC monohulls, as well as superyachts. The Secu Pilote Charge pack is therefore suitable for these different types of vessels.

The Sécu Pilote Charge pack is a software option that adds to the MADBrain Autopilot system. Integration into the existing MADBrain system is native, and installation of the MADBrain hardware components is done in "plug & play" via the NMEA 2000 CAN bus.

Integrating the Secu Pilote Charge pack into the MADBrain system is designed to be straightforward. The MADBrain system integrates without additional complexity, and NMEA 2000 sensor installation is plug-and-play, making the whole setup easy to use.
