Data

4. 4
Scope of Work
• Design, develop and fabricate a working solution
to enable the display and remote control and
monitoring of installed radars (vessels and fixed
high points)
• iOS and Android Apps with wireless connectivity
such as Bluetooth or Wifi

5. 5
Background
• Antenna and antenna
control are usually at the
highest point (tower top,
roof top or mast top)
• Electronics are usually a few
meters below, inside an
equipment room or the
bridge
• Two or more engineers are
required to carry out
servicing, commissioning
and testing tasks

Benefits
• Reduction of engineers
– Reduced manpower costs
– Reduced time used to communicate
– Reduced risk due to lesser access to high points
• First low-cost mobile platform
– First to incorporate interface for various radar makes
and models
– Terma and Raytheon have indicated support in
development
– Sperry and KH servicing agents have indicated
technical support in testing

Product Launch Plan
• Position – the mobile platform for radar remote
control and monitoring is not new but there is
still a huge market for one that can interface to
various radars by customization of interface
protocol
• Product – a generic solution that works with
various radars
• Pricing – USD20.00 per device on Apple Store
and GooglePlay for end user of Terma radars (for
the provision of support in the development)

18. 18
Product Launch Plan
• Target Market – all radar makes and model, TBSS
will work with other makers such as Raytheon to
incorporate the interfaces with a fee, upon
completion, the end user license is USD20.00 per
device
