Naval Combat Management Systems
The nature of military operations is to engage hostile surface combatants, submarines, aircraft, missiles and torpedoes for self-protection, as well as for task force protection.
In addition, core tasks of modern navies include safeguarding shipping lanes in national and international waters, together with the support of military operations in crisis areas and war zones.
Today, traditional warships are transformed into multi-role combat ships, to meet changing operational requirements and varied tasks associated with providing maritime security.
To meet challenges posed by coastlines, naval equipment is designed for short reaction times, shallow waters and extremely cluttered conditions.
This is where Naval Combat Management Systems (NCMS) come into play. NCMS are software-intensive systems, flexible enough to operate in complex naval battle environments.
NCMS is simple in concept, but complex in design, as it has to be tailor-made to suit operational doctrines and hardware of specific navies. It should have open architecture to provide flexibility.
Flexible, reliable next-generation defence system - COMBATSS-21
COMBATSS-21 is produced by Lockheed Martin, and derived from the US Navy’s latest Aegis surface combatants. COMBATSS-21is the backbone of the Freedom-variant self-defence suite and integrates the radar, electro-optical infrared cameras, gun fire control system, countermeasures and short-range anti-air missiles.
COMBATSS-21 provides a flexible, reliable next-generation defence system. Its mission capabilities include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine warfare, surface warfare, special operations, anti-submarine warfare, maritime interdiction/interception operations, homeland defence and anti-terrorism/force protection.
COMBATSS-21 provides a flexible, reliable next-generation defence system. Its mission capabilities include intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine warfare, surface warfare, special operations, anti-submarine warfare, maritime interdiction/interception operations, homeland defence and anti-terrorism/force protection.
The system provides a scalable, services-based framework. Componentised, layered architecture enables upgrades and changes to any part of the system with minimal impact to the remaining software. Customer-defined sensors, communication and weapons are easily integrated and isolated from core components of the command and control system.
Because of its modern architecture, COMBATSS-21 can be hosted on configurations ranging from a single commercial processor running a commercial operating system to more distributed configurations. This makes it readily adaptable to a wide variety of shipboard applications, from patrol craft to large deck ships.
COMBATSS-21 is highly-tailorable to meet mission demands. It provides the flexibility to support a multi-mission ship designed for a wide range of naval operations, as well as ship designs with reconfigurable, focused mission packages.
POLARIS® naval system
POLARIS is a naval system covering the full spectrum of maritime surveillance missions and protection of state interests at sea.
Based on open architecture, Polaris processes a wide range of data, including from remote sensors. The correlation of all the retrieved data, analysed through an innovative tool for abnormal behaviour detection, helps officers make decisions quickly and react accordingly.
The system features surveillance and protection capabilities for littoral or exclusive economical zones operations. It is well-adapted to offshore patrol vessels, fast attack craft, fast patrol boats and landing platform dock/landing helicopter dock.
It can handle an extensive correlation of intelligence data, efficient identification procedures, and enhanced coordination to support sea policing and fighting asymmetric threats,
It is a robust and versatile CMS which can easily be adapted for upgrade programmes on all kinds of ships. Polaris operates surface-to-surface missile systems as well as defence missile systems. Combined with Matrics, Polaris automatically identifies and points out abnormal behaviour patterns.
It can be linked to helicopters, special forces and unmanned systems;
search sensors; for identifying enemies carrying out electronic warfare, and weapon systems.
ANCS combat management
With the F125 class frigate, the German Navy has taken a step forward to a multi-role surface combatant. Besides its many new capabilities, the ANCS combat management system now also covers the expanded mission profile, such as the precise, selective and flexible engagement of enemy forces, tactical fire support from sea to land, support for special forces, the combating of asymmetric threats, as well as joint and multinational operations with prolonged availability in operational areas all over the world.
Increased non-functional requirements for ANCS in respect of its robustness and availability, low maintenance effort, easy repairs, high level of automation, simplicity of operating workflow, and high redundancy all permit continuous deployment away from home ports for up to 24 months and a doubling of the sea operation time per year to 5,000 hours.
The data network allows operation of several logical networks for both classified and non-classified data at the same time on one cable.
Multiple information domains are supported, so that segregated information spaces, e.g. for NATO, special forces and NGOs, can be administered.
ANCS supports the crew with a simulation of the entire combat system, including all subsystems, in several simulation worlds that make it possible to simulate several ships at the same time, allowing operational scenario training.
Atlas designed the ANCS user interface together with the German Navy, based on a ‘user centric’ approach.
OPEN CI -The Power of Open Architecture
General Dynamics Mission Systems delivers technology breakthroughs and advancements directly to the warfighter with its open architecture computing infrastructure (OPEN CI).
As the computing backbone for the Independence-variant Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and the Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF), OPEN CI provides navies the ability to deliver mission capability when and where it’s needed most.
OPEN CI is integrated into ships and connects proven, innovative hardware and software technology seamlessly and reliably. It enables the Navy to upgrade mission capability rapidly.
The Independence-variant LCS was designed with the sailor in mind. The systems that control everything from driving the ship to firing its guns are designed and integrated to maximise automation, enabling sailors to focus on their warfighting mission.
The Independence-variant LCS was designed to smoothly adapt to rapidly evolving mission needs. Similar to how new hardware and software applications can be added to a personal computer, the Independence-variant LCS is designed to quickly and easily plug in technology advancements while reducing overall costs.
The Independence-variant LCS was built with innovative technologies not found on other ships. The “any display, anywhere” capability enables a sailor to display any information on any monitor located throughout the ship. With OPEN CI, sailors are no longer limited to operating the ship from the bridge, allowing for efficient and mission-based crew allocation.
With the power of OPEN CI, the Independence-variant LCS and the Expeditionary Fast Transport are, and will continue to be, innovative ships that are able to progress alongside technology breakthroughs and leverage them to the greatest advantage.
These ships are positioned to move forward with the best capabilities needed for continued mission success.
