Naiad Dynamics pioneered the science of Ride Control over 40 years ago with our revolutionary work with the US Navy and the fast ferry industry. Since then, we have introduced numerous groundbreaking advances in Ride Control System (RCS) devices and controls to keep pace with the expanding diversity of hull forms emerging from the world’s commercial and military shipbuilders. RCS benefits include:
Reduced roll, pitch, yaw, and heave motions.
Reduced motion sickness, crew fatigue, falls/accidents, rough weather interruptions, and cargo/equipment damage.
Automatic motion control and optimized running attitude reduces vessel drag and maintains a straighter course, improving speed and fuel efficiency.
Active T-Foils, Trim Tabs, Interceptors, Lifting Foils, Fins, Rudders and Air Cushions are used alone or fully integrated in combinations to suit ride quality objectives.
Proprietary modeling software developed over decades of experience accurately analyzes a vessel’s motion characteristics, and its effect on seasickness incidence averages.
Advanced digital control system modulates all control devices simultaneously for maximum efficiency.
