Anschütz Prepares for the Grand Unveiling of Tamandaré

Anschuetz do Brasil to provide regional technical expertise for bridge systems

The Brazilian Tamandaré class frigate project is making remarkable progress, and Anschütz is preparing for the next stage of the initiative. After supplying navigation systems during the first half of the year, Anschütz initiated extensive technician training in mid-August in anticipation of the deployment of the integrated bridge systems.

Anschütz secured a contract to deliver a complete SYNAPSIS NAVAL integrated bridge system for the new frigates, along with a custom package of integrated logistical support and a variety of local services. Anschuetz do Brasil Sistemas Maritimos Ltda., situated in Rio de Janeiro, will manage the local service operations for these systems, acting as the primary liaison for the client.

“We are immensely proud to be part of a programme that offers significant advantages to Brazil, advances the maritime industry and innovation, and bolsters the security of our waters,” expressed Leandro Pinto, Managing Director at Anschuetz do Brasil. “With steadfast commitment and excellence in technology and service, we are forging the way as the Anschütz team in partnership with the Brazilian Navy.”

A group of Brazilian technicians has successfully completed training, gaining an in-depth understanding of advanced navigation, control, and bridge systems from a manufacturer’s perspective. As a result, they will be well-equipped to provide Anschütz’s clients with exceptional service. The technical support will be available to the client throughout the lifespan of the new vessels, starting from commissioning to trials.

The SYNAPSIS NAVAL integrated bridge system for the Tamandaré class frigates will feature multifunctional workstations designed for specialized radar and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) applications, in addition to steering, autopilot, closed-circuit television, and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).

With SYNAPSIS NAVAL, the Brazilian frigates will be armed with a high-quality and reliable Warship Integrated Navigation and Bridge System (WINBS), currently employed in the most challenging naval operations globally. Its exceptional scalability and open system architecture permit optimal adaptation to both current and future requirements of the Brazilian Navy.

The Tamandaré class frigate initiative is carried out through the transfer of advanced technologies and comprehensive local work packages. The programme reached another major milestone in early August when the Brazilian Navy celebrated the launch of the first vessel at thyssenkrupp Estaleiro Brasil Sul in Itajaí, Santa Catarina.

The Tamandaré class frigates are among the most advanced vessels ever built in Brazil.
