Navigating the Future: Havelsan’s Robust Data Solutions for Naval Operations
Engineered by HAVELSAN, the Platform Data Dissemination System (PDDS) and Submarine Data Dissemination System (SDDS) deliver cutting-edge, dependable, and modular solutions to address the data management and distribution demands of contemporary naval platforms. Both systems are actively employed in the operational theaters of the Turkish Naval Forces and allied naval fleets, improving platform mission efficacy and operational productivity.
PDDS – Platform Data Dissemination System
The PDDS gathers, processes, and conveys data from sensors and systems on surface vessels to mission computers, Combat Management Systems (CMS), weaponry, tactical sensors, and various subsystems. Serving as the core of the platform, the PDDS guarantees synchronized and dependable data flow across all subsystems during missions.
PDDS Configurations and Usage Areas:
- Two 25U Cabinets Setup (For substantial platforms like frigates, corvettes, etc.)
- 25U Cabinet Setup (For patrol boats, missile crafts, etc.)
- 12U Cabinet Setup (For high-speed attack vessels and smaller ships)
- Compact PDDS Module (For USVs and analogous unmanned surface vessels)
SDDS – Submarine Data Dissemination System
The SDDS, meticulously crafted for submarine vessels, guarantees real-time, reliable, and synchronized data flow among essential submarine subsystems such as tactical sensors (SONAR, RADAR, Periscopes, etc.), navigation systems, combat management frameworks, and weapon systems throughout the entire operation.
Key Characteristics:
- Instantaneous Data Dissemination: Low-latency data transfer to all vital systems across the platform.
- Redundant Framework with Fault Resilience: Backup computing infrastructure with two cabinets or within a single cabinet, ensuring uninterrupted function.
- Diverse Interface Compatibility: A multitude of interface options, including Ethernet, RS-422, RS232/485, HDLC, Synchro, NTP, and STANAG HQ/1PPS.
- Data Management and Plausibility Validation: Intelligent data management, filtering, and prioritization algorithms for precise and organized data flow.
- Simulation and Black Box Capability: Sensor data emulation, data logging, and analytical support.
- Modular and Scalable Design: Expandable hardware and software architecture applicable to various submarine classes.
Standard Input Interfaces:
- INS, Gyroscope, GNSS
- EM-Log, Doppler-Log, Echo Sounder
- RADAR, Periscopes
- Meteorological instrumentation
- Main engine and auxiliary systems
Standard Output Interfaces:
- Combat Management Systems (CMS)
- Weapon and Missile Control Systems
- RADAR, Periscopes, and Electro-optical Sensor Systems
- Navigation and Chart Systems (ECDIS/WECDIS)
- Communication and Tactical Data Link Systems (LINK, AIS, etc.)
Approval Standards:
- MIL-STD-810
- MIL-STD-461
- MIL-STD-1310 and MIL-STD-1399
HAVELSAN’s PDDS and SDDS solutions enhance the operational capabilities and decision-making processes of naval platforms under the challenging circumstances of modern warfare.
