Anschütz Develops Autonomous Navigation And Command System
Using proven, readily available and type-approved system components, German navigation specialist Anschütz has developed an approval-ready, seamlessly integrated and holistic navigation and command system for autonomous and unmanned maritime operations. The system has undergone extensive testing in autonomous operation and is currently being prepared for use in prototypes.
The Autonomous Navigation and Command System from Anschütz provides navies with a sustainable capability and safety enhancement for unmanned systems while retaining full technological sovereignty. It ensures precise and safe autonomous navigation, control and operation of unmanned platforms, while also enabling remote monitoring and control from a Tactical Operations Centre (TOC), such as a shore station or mothership. Anschütz systems for the TOC can also be implemented as a containerised, mobile solution.
Autonomous navigation, tactical mission functions and automation management are based on established technologies developed by Anschütz. At the core of the integrated solution is the SYNAPSIS Integrated Navigation System, making use of and enhancing proven and secure technology.
Its capabilities include the monitoring and control of platforms, the generation of a comprehensive maritime situational picture using navigation sensors, optical sensors and surveillance systems, as well as extended tactical target management.
Unmanned vessels are precisely and safely navigated and dynamically manoeuvred using automated course and speed control, supported by a collision avoidance system. Target detection and classification are automated, and a range of tactical functions are seamlessly integrated into the system.
The meta-architecture of the system allows scaling from assistance systems to highly automated systems, and from the monitoring and control of Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) to automation solutions for large combatants.
As a reusable, modular system based on existing system elements, designs and standardised interfaces, the solution allows for easy integration and expansion of sensors, automation processes and communication systems, while also supporting customer-specific security requirements. The system can be adapted to comply with future regulations and standards.
An important differentiator of Anschütz’s Autonomous Navigation and Command System is the functional integration of autonomous navigation with mission system components. Thanks to the availability and automation of tactical mission functions and the fusion of all onboard data into a common operating picture, the system creates a significant capability advantage and offers high flexibility for various missions.
By integrating multiple units into an autonomous system network, the speed and effectiveness of maritime operations can be significantly increased.
Typical application scenarios include ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance) operations, securing critical maritime infrastructure and coastlines, as well as mine detection and identification of other underwater anomalies.
Anschütz will present further information on the Autonomous Navigation and Command System at the Unmanned Systems X event in Bonn on 25 and 26 March.
