Navigating the Future: Anschütz Reimagines Integrated Mission Systems for Versatile Naval Operations

Anschütz converts the unified bridge framework into an efficient integrated mission platform tailored for the increasing operational demands of naval vessels such as offshore patrol ships, rapid interceptors, and mine countermeasure boats. The integrated mission platform is outfitted with a Synapsis NX navigation and bridge system, a SYNTACS NX command and control program, mission-specific software modules, and necessary sensors and systems. Following delivery, Anschütz extends support for clients with extensive after-sales services, including logistical solutions, system upkeep, and technical assistance.

Anschütz is a skilled integrator of bespoke navigation and mission frameworks. As a solution collaborator, we guide our clients through the complete journey—from project initiation and requirements gathering to system design, implementation, and post-sale services (encompassing logistical support, system maintenance, and technical assistance tailored to client needs).

Anschütz creates a custom mission system that adheres to stringent budgets, grounded on the SYNTACS NX command and control system, that effectively aids the teams on board by providing high mission performance, intuitive use, and reduced training needs. With SYNTACS, we equip clients with essential capabilities for surface warfare operations. This encompasses critical infrastructure safeguarding, maritime interdiction missions, low to medium intensity combat management, and specialized capabilities for mine countermeasure operations.

SYNTACS for Patrol Boats / Interceptors

SYNTACS assembles an operational overview from the data and presents the operator with a well-organized dashboard for tactical navigation, mission planning, execution, and fundamental combat abilities. Features also include a solid-state radar system for surveillance and navigation, alarm and secure zones with interception capabilities, search and rescue functionalities, data links for a shared operational overview, and the integration of autonomous weapon systems.

SYNTACS for Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Vessels

The SYNTACS MCM module delivers the tools necessary to plan, perform, coordinate, and oversee mine countermeasure missions. With unmatched precision, potential threats are identified on the tactical chart display in real-time, and the information can then be shared with any station as well as with linked vessels or land units for identification, situational analysis, or alerts. SYNTACS also connects AUV and USV systems with sonar technology.

SYNTACS for Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV)

SYNTACS’ multifunctional, compact workstations are ideal for vessels with a streamlined connection between navigation and operations within the combat information center, making SYNTACS an intelligent option for OPVs, navies, or coast guards. It offers an extensive maritime overview with customized features, alarm and guard areas, search and rescue components, an integrated electro-optical system, surveillance radars, helicopter coordination, tactical data links, and mission data logging.
