Naval auxiliaries play a crucial role in supporting naval fleets by providing essential services such as logistics, supply replenishment and medical assistance, ensuring that combat vessels can maintain operational readiness. Even under difficult conditions, their navigation and bridge systems must be precise, robust and redundant to ensure accurate positioning, safe manoeuvring in confined waters and smooth integration into the fleet.
When it comes to supporting naval forces, you can count on the reliability and performance of our navigation and bridge systems.
Anschütz offers highly precise gyrocompasses that have proven their robustness over decades of use. Manual steering gear control systems which can be designed to military standards have unique integrated safety functions that ensure safe and accurate steering of the ship even in an emergency. Integrated navigation and bridge systems fulfil the highest demands for military and tactical functions, provide integrated redundancy and comply with current regulations, including cyber security requirements. They are flexibly scalable from customised solutions based on robust, commercially proven bridge systems to mature, sophisticated military bridge system solutions.
Multifunctional workstations empower the bridge team to access and control any function, sensor or actuator from any place. All workstations use consistent data and alerts and a precise situational picture is shared throughout the system, directing attention to relevant situations and avoiding miscommunication on the bridge. Intelligent utilisation of redundancies in the system creates additional security.
The open system architecture and interfaces make it possible to enhance the system with further sensors or systems according to customer requirements. These include, for example, sensors (e.g. to support fleet commonalities), surveillance radars and camera systems, as well as special solutions for advanced data management or the integration of mission systems.
The function of the bridge can be easily expanded using software modules. These include, for example, tactical functions from the warship electronic chart display and information system or naval radar functions such as alert and guard zone monitoring, formations or helicopter guidance. Extensions for command and control enable the sharing of a common operational picture or provide basic self-defence measures.
Anschütz supplies powerful and robust navigation systems that have proven themselves under intensive use and are easy to operate by crews in all situations.
At Anschütz, experienced system engineers develop reliable and high-performance systems that fulfil and exceed the high expectations of customers in the field. The flexible, state-of-the-art technology base enables the bridge systems to be customised to consider fleet commonalities, customer-specific system safety and cyber security requirements as well as local industry participation. All solutions comply with important international standards without compromise.
Competent project engineers and technicians in the Anschütz Group accompany and support customers during the entire implementation phase, at the shipyard and during operation. Comprehensive after-sales service solutions ensure maximum platform availability as well as the availability of the latest technology on the bridge.
