nautical technology

Nautical technology encompasses the tools and systems used to navigate, operate, and communicate on ships and vessels at sea. This includes GPS for precise positioning, sonar and radar for detecting underwater and surface objects, and advanced communication systems for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore contact. Navigation instruments like gyrocompasses and automatic identification systems (AIS) enhance safety, while modern propulsion and stability systems improve efficiency and performance. Together, these technologies enable accurate navigation, safe operations, and efficient maritime commerce in challenging marine environments.
