Jupiter (Dynamic Positioning system)

JUPITER (Joint User Program for Intelligent Tethered Exploration and Retrieval) is a Dynamic Positioning system designed to maintain a vessel's precise location automatically. It uses real-time data from GPS, sensors, and onboard computers to adjust thrusters or azimuthing thrusters, counteracting the influence of currents, wind, and waves. This system is essential for operations like offshore drilling or scientific research, ensuring stability and accuracy without manual intervention. By continuously monitoring and responding to environmental forces, JUPITER helps vessels stay securely positioned, enhancing safety, efficiency, and operational precision at sea.
