FutureWaves™ is a system with the capability to measure, predict, and display the environmental and ship motion parameters needed for operators to safely conduct operations. The system provides accurate ship motion and wave forecasting for time scales of interest (~5 minutes) in up to sea state 5 and ship speeds of up to 10 knots. System Description Figure 1: FutureWaves™ Components and Physical Layout The major hardware subsystems of the FutureWaves™ system are:  User Workstation [Bridge Console] – The User Workstation (UWS) is a ruggedized Intel PC running Windows 10 that provides the main interface for FutureWaves™. Detailed software description is in the following section.  Primary Processing Unit (PPU) – The PPU is a ruggedized Intel PC running Linux Ubuntu 16.04. It performs the core algorithms of FutureWaves™ taking in sensor data and providing products to the UWS. The PPU is in the Electronics Locker located in the Bosun’s Storeroom below the forecastle deck.  Wave Radar Unit (WRU) – The WRU is the principal FutureWaves™ sensor for measuring the oceanic wave field. It is a modified marine navigation radar specialized for ocean surface return. Radar control and signal processing are performed by a Wave Radar Unit FutureWaves™ User Manual FutureWaves™ v1.7.0.1 4 dedicated Radar Processing Unit (RPU) consisting of an Intel PC with Windows 10. The CORR is on the foremast and the RPU is also within the Electronics Locker.  Ship Motion Sensor (SMS) – Real-time ship motion is provided to the system by an OXTS RT2502 IMU. The sensor uses accelerometers and gyros in conjunction with dual antenna GPS with L1 carrier-phase differencing. The SMS is located in the Electronics Locker and connects to the PPU via a direct Ethernet connection. GPS antennas are located on the foremast.  Meteorological (MET) Sensor – Real-time environmental data (e.g. wind speed/direction, temperature) is provided to the system by a Gill® MetPak™ II Weather Station via a RS- 422 serial connection to the PPU. The MET sensor is located on the foremast.  Ethernet network switch – The processors are networked using a Dell PowerConnect 2816 16-port, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch also located within the Electronics Locker. The three processor components (PPU, RPU, and UWS) are all Cinco…

Overview This document addresses the potential hazard to personnel of using X-band radar and recommended mitigations to reduce risk of that hazard. Specific direction to mitigate this hazard is provided per each unique FutureWaves™ installation. This document serves as a general overview of the RF exposure risks and RF Exposure Safety Distances. The antenna gain used with this transmitter should be 28 dBi or less and all persons should maintain a minimum safety separation distance of 35cm while functioning properly.

Page 1 of 3 2. Background Various organizations and countries have developed exposure standards for radio frequency (RF) energy. These standards recommend safe levels of exposure for both the general public and for workers. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted and used recognized safety guidelines for evaluating RF environmental exposure since 1985. The FCC guidelines for human exposure to RF fields were derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Expert scientists and engineers developed both the NCRP exposure criteria and the IEEE standard after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to RF biological effects. The exposure guidelines are based on thresholds for known adverse effects, and they incorporate appropriate margins of safety. Many countries in Europe and elsewhere use exposure guidelines developed by the International Commission on Nonionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The ICNIRP safety limits are generally similar to those of the NCRP and IEEE, with a few exceptions. The NCRP, IEEE, and ICNIRP exposure guidelines state the threshold level at which harmful biological effects may occur, and the values for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) recommended for power density are based on this threshold level. The industrial specifications set for radiation hazard to personnel are contained in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-2005 (IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz) and the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Title 47 Section 1.1310 – Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits. Per these references the occupational/controlled MPE limits for an X-band (8.0 to 12.0 GHz) radar is a power density of 5 mW/cm 2 for a 6 minute averaging time. Occupational/Controlled MPE limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. These MPE recommendations are made to protect against established adverse health effects in human beings associated with exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz. The recommendations are expressed in terms of basic restrictions (BRs) and MPE values. The BRs are limits on internal fields, specific absorption rate (SAR), and current density; the MPEs, which are derived from the BRs, are limits on external fields and induced and contact current. The recommendations, which protect against effects associated with electrostimulation and tissue and whole-body heating, are intended to apply to all human exposures except for exposure of patients by, or under the direction of, physicians and medical professionals. These recommendations are not intended for the purpose of preventing interference with medical and other devices that may exhibit susceptibility to RF fields. Using the MPE limit an effective safety zone around the radar transmitters can be determined and a boundary established to reduce risk of excessive exposure. To calculate this safety zone APS used IEEE Std C95.3™-2002 (R2008) - Recommended Practice for Measurements and Computations of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields With Respect to Human Exposure to Such Fields, 100 kHz–300 GHz. In determining the safety zone for a radar system a number of factors affecting the RF power density must be considered: Applied Physical Sciences Corp. 475 Bridge Street, Suite 100, Groton, CT 06340 (860) 448-3253 · www.aphysci.com APS Proprietary Information This document may not be shared in part or in whole outside of Heerema Marine Contractors without the expressed written permission of Applied Physical Sciences, Corp.

This makes the average power emitted much lower than the peak pulse power.  Radars are directional and the RF energy they generate is contained in beams that are very narrow and resemble the beam of a spotlight.…
