1. Overview
Rutter sigma S6 radar technology for wave and current monitoring WaMoS®II is used worldwide to provide essential ocean measurements, enhance operational safety, inform for critical infrastructure decisions, and support leading edge research efforts. Real world use cases include site evaluation before construction of marine and marine-adjacent installations such as wind farms, coastal monitoring and oceanographic research, and to ensure the safety of crews and assets during critical on-deck operations. Compared to ocean-deployed wave and current monitoring systems, WaMoS®II is a ‘dry’ solution, providing a lower lifecycle cost with the benefit of technical support 24/7 anywhere in the world.
Developed by Rutter subsidiary, OceanWaveS GmbH of Germany, WaMoS®II has a long history serving the marine and research communities.


2. Technical Superiority
Rutter’s sigma S6 WaMoS®II system provides extended coverage of conditions when compared with an ocean-deployed system. In complex wave regimes, WaMoS®II provides measurements out to 4 km from the radar, identifying changing conditions as they evolve at multiple locations simultaneously. No longer rely on a single data point to make critical decisions for your operation: get the entire picture with WaMoS®II .

3. Data Availability
No two situations are the same: different problems require different solutions. Rutter recognizes this, and makes all measurements from the sigma S6 WaMoS®II system readily accessible to your other systems. Easily interface your mission-critical systems with WaMoS®II in real-time, to ensure that safety is never compromised.

4. Low Cost of Ownership
Compared to ocean-deployed wave and current monitoring systems, sigma S6 WaMoS®II’s radar-based “dry solution” requires no costly in-water service. Consequently, WaMoS®II provides a lower lifecycle cost with minimal maintenance required and the added benefit of accessible remote technical support from anywhere in the world on request.

5. Safety
Rutter sigma S6 radar technology for wave and surface current monitoring, WaMoS®II, is used worldwide promoting operational safety. Mitigating the risk of onboard ship incidents, sigma S6 WaMoS®II provides the ability to monitor wave and surface current conditions to ensure safety of crews and assets during critical on-deck operations.
