WV-100 Wave Radar Software
Furuno wave radar WV-100 uses raw echo data from the Furuno navigation radar to analyze sea surface echoes. The analysis results in a real time presentation of wave patterns and characteristics. Whenever wave heights exceeds defined threshold values for safe operation, an alarm is issued and a report log is created and may be used to document operational interrupts.

Real-Time Wave Analysis for Shared Situational Awareness
Wave Analyzer WV-100 transforms marine radar echoes into continuous real-time wave analysis for operational decision-making. Using data from the vessel’s navigational radar system, the software continuously analyzes local sea conditions and presents accurate measurements of significant wave height, wave direction and wave period.
The system operates seamlessly alongside IMO marine radar functions without affecting normal navigation performance. Wave conditions are visualized directly within the operational environment, giving bridge teams continuous access to live sea state information during navigation and marine operations.
Wave Analyzer supports operational awareness across a wide range of weather-sensitive maritime activities, including offshore wind support, aquaculture operations, service vessel operations and general commercial navigation.
Supporting Operational Decision-Making in Changing Sea Conditions
Access to continuous real-time wave information provides valuable operational support in changing sea conditions. By presenting live and objective measurements of local wave conditions, Wave Analyzer helps create a shared operational understanding between vessel crews, operators and clients during weather-sensitive operations.
The system provides immediate visual insight into both current wave conditions and developing trends, supporting more confident operational assessments and decision-making onboard. Accurate and continuously updated wave data also reduces uncertainty and minimizes subjective interpretation of sea conditions during critical operations.
Designed for practical onboard use, Wave Analyzer is easily accessible through the vessel’s radar interface and can remain continuously available on dedicated bridge displays without compromising standard radar operation.
Seamless Integration with Furuno Navigation Radar
Wave Analyzer WV-100 is designed for seamless integration with Furuno FAR-series radar systems and utilizes live radar data from existing navigation infrastructure. The software operates with X-band, S-band and solid-state radar configurations, enabling flexible installation across a wide range of vessel types and operational profiles.
By utilizing the vessel’s existing radar platform, Wave Analyzer delivers advanced wave monitoring capabilities without the need for additional sea-mounted sensors or standalone monitoring systems. The result is a compact and operationally integrated solution that brings real-time wave analysis directly into the bridge environment where navigational decisions are made.
