Simrad NAC3 Core pack autopilot

Take command with the SIMRAD NAC-3 Core Pack Autopilot. This advanced system, featuring the robust NAC-3 Autopilot Computer and Precision-9 Heading Sensor, delivers unparalleled steering precision for vessels over 10 meters. Experience Simrad Continuum steering technology for a smooth, fuel-efficient ride, and precise rudder feedback via the RF25N unit. Seamlessly integrate via NMEA 2000® and control through your Simrad display or controller. Navigate with confidence and enjoy more time on the water.

The NAC-3 Core Pack is the central intelligence of your Simrad autopilot system, engineered for superior performance and reliability on larger boats and commercial vessels. At its heart, the NAC-3 Autopilot Computer contains the control electronics and high-current motor drive needed to operate heavy-duty hydraulic pumps and mechanical drive units, ensuring responsive and powerful steering in any sea state. This robust capability makes it the ideal choice for skippers who demand unwavering control and safety offshore.

Experience a revolutionary difference in steering with Simrad´s proprietary Continuum algorithm. This advanced software is the culmination of over 70 years of autopilot development, providing exceptionally smooth and predictable course-keeping. It intelligently minimizes unnecessary rudder movements, which not only provides a more comfortable ride for everyone on board but also significantly enhances fuel efficiency on long passages.

Data accuracy is paramount for effective autopilot performance, and this core pack delivers. The included Precision-9 Heading Sensor provides precise heading and rate-of-turn information to the NAC-3 computer. Using solid-state sensor technology, it calculates vessel motion across nine axes to deliver a stable and accurate data feed, allowing the Continuum algorithm to make the most informed steering decisions possible. Completing the feedback loop, the RF25N Rudder Feedback Unit constantly transmits the exact position of your rudder, enabling the system to apply precise and measured steering adjustments.
