Anschütz develops autonomous navigation and deployment system

The specialists at Anschütz in Kiel have developed a navigation and deployment system for autonomous and unmanned naval operations.

Anschütz develops autonomous navigation and deployment system

Proven and available components have been utilised, according to the press release. Extensive tests have shown that precise and safe autonomous navigation, control and operation of unmanned platforms is possible. The system allows remote control by a tactical operations centre, e.g. a land station or a mother ship. Anschütz can also realise mobile container solutions for this purpose. The autonomous navigation, tactical mission functions and automation management are based on proven Anschütz technologies. The centrepiece of the overall solution is the integrated navigation system SYNAPSIS, which uses established technologies.

Monitoring and control as well as the creation of a situation picture using navigation sensors, optical sensors and monitoring systems should be possible in order to manoeuvre unmanned ships with automatic course and speed control.

Unmanned systems that are quickly available meet the expectations of the German Navy. Let's see when the first hardware visibly and successfully cruises through the fjord, fitted with their system by the specialists at the entrance to the canal. However, there is still little information on this. It would be important. And it should also be quick.
