Integrated Navigation

The core product for integrated solutions on submarines is the Navigation and Data Management Center. It assembles data from various sources, pre-processes these data in real time and distributes them to various end users. This encompasses data for tactical, navigational and technical purposes as well as complex functionalities (i.e. navigation processing, automatic sensor degradation, redundant data management).

Typical interfaces to sensors and systems include:

• Combat management system, sonar and weapon control
• Surface sensors (radar, optronics etc.)
• Navigation sensors 
• ECDIS (Nav/Cdr console) 
• External and internal communication 
• Ship’s automation and platform management 
• Submarine steering control 
• Display and control units

In combination with the Nav/Cdr console, which is a centralized information system especially designed for submarines, a powerful integrated solution becomes available which effectively supports the submarine’s command team in all aspects of submarine operation.

Apart from full WECDIS functionality, the Nav/Cdr console enables various functions such radar control and display or periscope/optronic mast operation.

Submarine steering control takes a customized approach with an HMI according to the specific user habits and conventions. Various modes of operation as well as fully integrated course and depth autopilot functions are part of the user-oriented operation concepts. With the 3-D waypoint planning and control, the submarine steering control will become an integral part of such an integrated solution.
