Introducing the Groundbreaking SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX by Anschütz!

Tailored for naval forces: validated and certified WECDIS technology ready for the S-100 standard.

The navigation specialist Anschütz has reintroduced its Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System under the fresh title SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX. This system provides a host of supplementary military and tactical functionalities in accordance with STANAG 4564 Edition 3, while simultaneously preparing clients for the upcoming implementation of the new S-100 framework.

“Anschütz has been acknowledged in the naval industry for numerous years for its premium, reliable, and precise navigation and operational systems,” commented Jörg Dammrich, Head of Business Area Naval Surface Combatants and former Principal Warfare Officer of the German Navy. “We are now utilizing this knowledge to deliver a WECDIS that not only meets STANAG specifications but is also intricately designed to align with the operational standards of our naval partners.”

SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX serves as a resilient platform for naval navigation and tactical engagements. Its innovative and user-friendly design reduces training demands by offering a clear interface that highlights essential functionalities while refraining from complicated menu structures. This ensures that personnel require only minimal instruction to operate the system effectively.

The system provides a transparent overview of the maritime landscape, granting exceptional insights into the vessel and its vicinity. Tactical overlays, paired with a range of waterspace management and anti-submarine warfare features, elevate the efficacy of tactical navigation and mission execution. Integrated and validated sensor data enables precise plotting of the vessel’s position, maneuvers, and nearby traffic—even in GNSS-denied scenarios.

“SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX combines IMO compliance with STANAG features to provide a robust military solution that gives our naval clients a competitive advantage in terms of precision, reliability, and tactical navigation expertise,” noted Dammrich.

As a vital element of the bridge navigation architecture, SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX achieves an unparalleled level of functionality. It delivers a cohesive and uniform maritime perspective throughout the entire bridge system, along with various enhanced military features. When paired with Anschütz’s SYNAPSIS Naval Radar NX, clients benefit from a fully integrated, standardized, and highly accurate navigation suite with seamless capabilities for both surveillance and tactical missions.

SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX is built on the same modern, open, and adaptable system architecture as the entire SYNAPSIS software suite for navigation and tactical operations. SYNAPSIS solutions are actively utilized on over a thousand vessels worldwide and are continually enhanced to meet emerging needs, customer feedback, evolving standards, and regulations.

Clients can therefore rely on SYNAPSIS WECDIS NX to be equipped with the latest functionalities, cybersecurity requirements, and military guidelines. The system will comply with S-100 standards as they are deployed, offering maritime professionals a unique solution for secure navigation and operations.
