S G Brown's steering control system includes a range of features developed to ensure optimum safety and reliability:

• Dual-channel, follow-up hand control from the bridge and steering gear compartment helm positions.
• Comprehensive monitoring system with alarm circuits also ensures that the steering will always "fail safe" and allow timely rectification of any faults.

The S G Brown design anticipates all situations that might be encountered during combat and peacetime operations.

S G Brown has manufactured over seventy steering control systems for ships in the Royal Navy and for those of other nations including Australia, Netherlands and Brazil. S G Brown is widely known as a manufacturer of gyrocompasses and its steering control systems have been developed for ships that range in size from the Hunt Class minesweepers to the Invincible Class aircraft carriers.
