Set EXOCET ESSENTIAL

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit is an all-in-one box designed for navigation, advanced data management, autopilot control, and safety at sea. It integrates proven algorithms from offshore racing (IMOCA, Ultim) to provide a standardized and high-performance solution. This system is ideal for demanding sailors looking to optimize performance and safety.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit provides several key features:

Advanced calculation of true wind and leeway for reliable indicators.Data collection, processing, and precise retransmission of navigation data.Automatic sensor failure management, switching to an alternative source in case of failure.1Hz frequency navigation data recording.Performance and safety overlay for autopilot optimization, including B&G H5000 systems.Enhanced Man Overboard (MOB) function, capable of detecting MOB events and initiating automatic actions.Customizable alert system.

The installation of the EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit is designed to be self-contained. An installation guide is provided with the kit to simplify the process. Additionally, 2 hours of remote support are included during the first year to assist the user.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit is designed for broad compatibility and seamless integration. It is compatible with NMEA 2000 displays from brands such as B&G, Simrad, and Garmin. It also enhances autopilot performance, particularly with B&G H5000 systems, through dedicated autopilot overlays.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL features automatic sensor failure management. In the event of a sensor failure, the system seamlessly switches to an alternative source to ensure continuous data flow and reliable navigation information.

Yes, the EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit logs navigation data at a 1Hz frequency. These data can then be sent ashore via the EXOCET Cloud interface (subscription required) for storage, visualization, and remote real-time analysis, providing a solid basis for post-navigation analysis.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL housing has the following physical specifications:

Weight: 350 gDimensions: L113 x H97 x D40 mmMaterial: Anodized aluminumIngress protection rating: IP67

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit is an all-in-one solution designed to optimize your navigation, data management, autopilot, and safety at sea. Its main features include:

Advanced navigation hub: It ensures precise calculation of true wind and leeway.Data management: The kit collects, processes, and retransmits navigation data, with 1Hz logging for post-navigation analysis.Automatic sensor failure management: In case of a sensor failure, the system automatically switches to an alternative source to ensure continuous data flow.Optimized autopilot: It includes dedicated autopilot overlays for performance and safety, providing intelligent trajectory commands for faster and safer navigation, particularly for B&G H5000 systems.Enhanced Man Overboard (MOB) function: The system can detect MOB events from multiple sources and automatically act by alerting the crew, providing critical real-time data, and initiating a course change. Intuitive user interface: A web interface allows easy configuration and visualization of data.Custom alert system: Customizable alerts can be set for any sensor failure or weather change.

The standard EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit includes the following items:

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL's Man Overboard (MOB) function is designed for safety. It can detect MOB events from various sources, such as the web interface, navigation software, an NMEA 2000 button, or an AIS-SART beacon. Upon detection, the system alerts the crew, displays critical real-time data (position, bearing, distance, elapsed time) on multi-display NMEA 2000-compatible screens (B&G, Simrad, Garmin, etc.) and via the web interface. It can also automatically act by changing the boat's trajectory with a command to the autopilot to stop, and potentially deploy a Jon Buoy if the system is configured to do so.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL box is equipped with numerous interfaces for optimal connectivity:

1x Ethernet 2x CAN 2.0 6x Analog inputs (16 bits 50 Hz) 2x Digital contact inputs 3x Digital contact outputs 5x RS232 series 1x RS232 / RS422 series

Although the EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit integrates proven algorithms from IMOCA and Ultim classes, making it ideal for offshore racing and demanding sailors, it is designed to suit the majority of projects. Its high-performance navigation features, data management, and enhanced safety make it relevant for any type of navigation where precision and reliability are paramount, including demanding cruising.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit requires an input voltage between 9 and 51 volts (DC). Its power consumption is 4 watts.

The EXOCET ESSENTIAL housing is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. It is made of anodized aluminum, has an IP67 waterproof rating, and can operate within a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C.

Yes, options are available to complement the EXOCET ESSENTIAL Kit. Two packs are listed:

Exocet Essential option Buzzer Pack: Includes the Exocet Buzzer, ExoConnect Analog, Exocet Bracket, an Exocet Essential keypad (6 keys), and one day of on-water engineering support for commissioning and hands-on training at sea.Exocet Essential option Voice Pack: Includes the Exocet Voice (planned compatibility in 2026), ExoConnect Analog, Exocet Bracket, an Exocet Essential keypad (6 keys), and one day of on-water engineering support for commissioning and hands-on training at sea.
