Among the world\u2019s most advanced polar research vessels, the 129 meter long vessel operates in Antarctica, meets Polar Code ice class 4 and carries the LR NAV1 IBS notation.<\/p>\n<p>Following the initial delivery of navigation systems in 2017, Ansch\u00fctz has now completed a comprehensive refit of both the radar systems and the INS. This included the installation of the latest generation of compact marine computers and software upgrades. Five multifunctional workstations were equipped with the newest edition of the SYNAPSIS software, offering improved user-friendliness and enhanced system stability.<\/p>\n<p>The updated software provides the bridge with improved situational awareness and an expanded set of navigation tools, presented via modern, intuitive user interfaces. Advanced features for route planning, voyage management and positioning are available via the ECDIS, supporting safe and efficient navigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of our improved Synapsis software, and it\u2019s great to work with British Antarctic Survey,\u201d said Joscha Lorenz, head of technical support &amp; service at Ansch\u00fctz. \u201cSYNAPSIS meets high standards and we\u2019re commited to working closely with customers to deliver reliable and safe navigation solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SYNAPSIS NX is type-approved in accordance with performance standards MSC.252(83) and IEC 61924-2 for INS. It meets current regulatory requirements and complies with demanding class notations. Based entirely on LAN architecture, SYNAPSIS enables full control of all functions from any workstation. The multifunctional system ensures a consistent user experience with harmonized data, alerts and terminology\u2014reducing distractions and supporting clear situational awareness. The INS integrates radar systems, precision autopilots and a redundant gyro compass system.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More on the Ansch\u00fctz SYNAPSIS integrated navigation system <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3M9P1oY\">HERE<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/anschutz-completes-navigation-system-refit-for-rrs-sir-david-attenborough\/\">Ansch\u00fctz completes navigation system refit for RRS Sir David Attenborough<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/anschutz-completes-navigation-system-refit-for-rrs-sir-david-attenborough\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=anschutz-completes-navigation-system-refit-for-rrs-sir-david-attenborough\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ansch\u00fctz completes navigation system refit for RRS Sir David Attenborough Since entering service in 2021, the polar research vessel RRS Sir David Attenborough has been equipped with navigation systems from Ansch\u00fctz.
