Our BNWAS is tamper proof. It has a main unit containing the microprocessor controller. This requires the OOW (officer on watch) to reset a customizable timer at regular intervals. In case the OOW does not reset the timer, an alarm is sounded on the bridge. In the absence of a reset even after visual indications and the sounding of the alarm, a series of alarms is set off at different locations on the ship. The intervals between alarms can be customized depending on the size of the ship and other factors.
Our BNWAS prevents ship accidents in the event of the possible incapacitation of the OOW.
