ATLAS’ RMS Keeps Navies Connected
The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced mobility globally. However, navies still have to fulfil their missions abroad. Yet if a complex repair problem occurs, the navies’ depot level specialists cannot travel any more. In a worst-case scenario, travelling bans and a defect not repairable with onboard expertise could bring the mission to a standstill.
Maritime security should be independent of pandemics. Therefore, most navies try to keep up their operational schedules, even though COVID-19 has serious effects, especially on the land-based support processes.
Modern, global tasks make it necessary for the navies to operate in international missions. The durations of these missions are getting longer. Regular maintenance and repair work have to be conducted during these sea trails. It is not possible to return to the home base to perform repair activities. For these reasons, it is important to have the opportunity for remote maintenance and repair. This is where ATLAS’ Remote Maintenance System (RMS) comes in. It is a proven and deployed tool for keeping the operational availability of systems high. The task sounds simple but requires an integrated approach.
The German Navy has been operating ATLAS’ RMS for years on their K130 corvettes. The RMS system allows the experts of Marinearsenal Wilhelmshaven to access a defective unit via an encrypted video-voice-data connection – with minimal bandwidth requirements. Linked together by the encrypted and IT-secure connection through SATCom, the onboard maintainers can talk directly to their depot level maintenance experts back home.
Sustaining Maritime Superiority
The RMS is a proven solution, designed to empower a specialist to diagnose equipment and devices aboard naval ships and support maintenance activities by remote connection (video, voice, serial, Ethernet). With this capability a specialist is able to diagnose a system by different connection options (e.g., serial data or Ethernet) without the need of travelling. This reduces costs and time of the maintenance. As an option, the RMS supports the forwarding of the connection from the ship to a Mobile External Support Unit (MESU), for example to ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH, where a system specialist assists the maintenance of an ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH system.
The system is just one building block in ATLAS’ integral services and support philosophy, which is highly customer-focused. Other building blocks include user-friendly designs with intuitive human-machine interfaces or easy and simple access to documentation, that keeps in-stride with configuration changes.
For decades, ATLAS, as a leading systems supplier for naval electronics, has been helping navies around the globe make the sea a safer place. The company has a broad offering of sonars and sensors, command and control systems for submarines and surface combatants, mine countermeasures systems, unmanned underwater vehicles, radio and communications equipment, naval weapons as well as coastal protection. To round off, ATLAS offers comprehensive support services, both before and after delivery of the products. It is able to equip submarines, ships and systems with its own and external sensors, effectors and subsystems and to integrate them in creating network-centric systems.
The ATLAS Group includes the following subsidiaries: Hagenuk Marinekommunikation GmbH (Germany), ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK Ltd (Great Britain), ATLAS ELEKTRONIK Oy (Finland), ATLAS MARIDAN Aps (Denmark), SONARTECH ATLAS Pty Ltd (Australia), ATLAS Naval Engineering Company Ltd (Korea), ATLAS NORTH AMERICA (USA), thyssenkrupp Marine Systems CANADA Ltd., ATLAS ELEKTRONIK INDIA Pvt. Ltd., ATLAS ELEKTRONIK LLC (UAE) and the following associated companies: Cybicom Atlas Defence (Pty) Ltd. (South Africa), Advanced Lithium Systems Europe - Defense Applications S.A. (Greece), kta naval systems AS (Norway).
ATLAS occupies a leading position in all sectors of top maritime technology, from command-and-control systems including radio and communications equipment for submarines and surface vessels to mine-hunting systems, heavyweight torpedoes, coastal protection installations and the provision of services. The electronics specialist is fully owned by thyssenkrupp and is an operational unit of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems.
