RNZN ANZAC Frigate Integrated Bridge System accepted
The Integrated Bridge System (IBS) supplied by OSI Maritime Systems for the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) ANZAC Frigate programme have successfully completed Sea Acceptance Trials, the company announced on 18 September.
The IBS, or Integrated Navigation & Tactical System (INTS), is being fitted into the RNZN’s ANZAC Frigates as part of a mid-life upgrade programme to replace obsolete equipment, improve ship stability and increase performance.
The INTS is a fully scalable, International Maritime Organisation- and NATO STANAG 4564 WECDIS-compliant IBS, designed to be flexible enough to meet the requirements of demanding military environments.
Built around OSI’s Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems, INTS integrates selected radars and navigation sensors, providing a comprehensive IBS that enables the RNZN to resolve the obsolescence of the navigation radar and reduce manpower requirements on the bridge through the interfacing into the replacement Integrated Platform Management Systems.
