OSI’s INTS gets type approval
The Integrated Navigation & Tactical System (INTS) from OSI Maritime Systems has received Marine Equipment Directive (MED) Type Approval certification from the DNV GL as an integrated navigation system (INS), the company announced on 6 October.
The certification follows the Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) certification that the company recently received against new IHO and IEC standards.
Ken Kirkpatrick, president and CEO at OSI, said: ‘OSI’s new integrated bridge offering has been designed for use on warships. Our flexible system architecture and significant naval capability uniquely positions OSI to provide integrated bridge solutions for our growing worldwide naval customer base.’
OSI has also announced the launch of a new fully type-approved radar solution combining its Radar Human Machine Interface software with a number of radar antennas. This will allow OSI to provide a range of radar capabilities, including helicopter control graticule and ship helicopter operating limits.
