Charting Tomorrow: Havelsan’s Cutting-Edge Data Innovations for Maritime Strategy
Developed by HAVELSAN, the Platform Data Dissemination System (PDDS) and Submarine Data Dissemination System (SDDS) provide innovative, reliable, and modular solutions to fulfill the data management and distribution requirements of modern naval platforms. Both systems are actively utilized in the operational arenas of the Turkish Naval Forces and allied maritime fleets, enhancing platform mission effectiveness and operational efficiency.
PDDS – Platform Data Dissemination System
The PDDS collects, processes, and transmits data from sensors and systems on surface vessels to mission computers, Combat Management Systems (CMS), armaments, tactical sensors, and various subsystems. Functioning as the backbone of the platform, the PDDS ensures synchronized and reliable data flow across all subsystems during missions.
PDDS Configurations and Deployment Areas:
- Dual 25U Cabinets Configuration (For large platforms like frigates, corvettes, etc.)
- Single 25U Cabinet Configuration (For patrol boats, missile craft, etc.)
- 12U Cabinet Configuration (For high-speed assault vessels and smaller ships)
- Compact PDDS Unit (For USVs and similar unmanned surface vessels)
SDDS – Submarine Data Dissemination System
The SDDS, meticulously designed for submarine units, guarantees real-time, dependable, and synchronized data transmission among essential submarine subsystems such as tactical sensors (SONAR, RADAR, Periscopes, etc.), navigation systems, combat management frameworks, and weapon systems throughout the entirety of the operation.
Key Features:
- Instantaneous Data Distribution: Low-latency information transfer to all critical systems across the platform.
- Redundant Design with Fault Tolerance: Backup computing framework with dual cabinets or within a single cabinet, ensuring continuous operation.
- Varied Interface Compatibility: Numerous interface options, including Ethernet, RS-422, RS232/485, HDLC, Synchro, NTP, and STANAG HQ/1PPS.
- Data Management and Validity Verification: Intelligent data management, filtering, and prioritization algorithms for accurate and organized data transmission.
- Simulation and Data Logging Capability: Sensor data simulation, data archiving, and analytical assistance.
- Modular and Scalable Architecture: Expandable hardware and software framework suitable for various submarine classes.
Standard Input Interfaces:
- INS, Gyroscope, GNSS
- EM-Log, Doppler-Log, Echo Sounder
- RADAR, Periscopes
- Meteorological instruments
- Main propulsion 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.)
Certification Standards:
- MIL-STD-810
- MIL-STD-461
- MIL-STD-1310 and MIL-STD-1399
HAVELSAN’s PDDS and SDDS solutions significantly boost the operational capabilities and decision-making processes of naval platforms under the demanding conditions of contemporary warfare.
