Autopilots and Steering Systems

Autopilots and Steering Systems

The Autopilots and Steering Systems lineup includes two integrated control platforms: NP 5000 NX and PilotStar NX, each engineered for different vessel sizes and mission profiles but fully compatible for layered deployment on the same ship. Together, they form a scalable navigation control solution offering precise heading, route, and rudder management through modern software interfaces and sensor networks.

The NP 5000 NX is designed for large and complex naval platforms requiring multi-mode steering, adaptive rudder control, and integrated bridge system connectivity. Its touchscreen interface, redundant architecture, and smart data distribution support uninterrupted control across multiple stations, with IMO-compliant safety layers. In contrast, PilotStar NX provides essential autopilot functions for smaller vessels or serves as a secondary control unit. It offers stable heading and track control in a compact format, with a user-friendly interface that simplifies operation and integration.

The Autopilots and Steering Systems are deployed on a wide range of naval and auxiliary vessels, from high-speed patrol boats to frigates and command ships. Whether operating in blue-water missions or coastal defense zones, these systems reduce helm workload, support safe navigation, and adapt to dynamic operational conditions. Their compatibility allows both units to coexist onboard: NP 5000 NX for primary control and PilotStar NX for backup or local helm applications.

Tactical Supply Pakistan provides this advanced autopilot suite to ensure navigational control, system redundancy, and adaptability across modern defense fleets.

Can PilotStar NX function independently if NP 5000 NX is offline?
Yes, PilotStar NX is a fully independent autopilot system and can serve as a reliable backup, maintaining core heading and track control even if the main NP 5000 NX system becomes unavailable.
