The SCC-W1 version with the Co pit-M Design (one-man bridge), according to 1 manufacturer, corresponds to the most stringe requirements regarding integration and safetj the ship. It is intended for the most sophisticat maritime projects.

MIRANS

Racal-Decca made a significant new develo] ment in marine electronics when it made bi{ ship integrated bridge systems available fc smaller ships, via its new MIRANS 1000 an 2000 systems. The new MIRANS (Modulate!

Integrated Radar and Navigation System) mod els are designed for any vessel that require; sophisticated electronics, but lacks the space tc accommodate big ship systems. MIRANS 2000 is a system which features a ChartMaster elec- tronic chart module, complete with a 20-in. high resolution screen.

MIRANS 1000 is an integrated bridge system with a MapMaster module. This differs from

ChartMaster in that, when used in conjunction with a chart digitizing table, it enables the user to draw his or her own electronic map.

NINAS 2

Kelvin Hughes's contribution to the integrated bridge market is the NINAS 2 (Nucleus Inte- grated Navigation System), which monitors and automatically controls an array of navigational systems and functions.

Radio Holland U.S.A. supplies the system in the U.S., and reports that its popularity contin- ues to grow. To date there are more than 30 ships, of various types, that have been fitted, with several more to come on line in the next few months. One of the most recent successes was the replacement of existing bridge equipment on the QE2. The scope of supply included the following integrated equipment: electronic chart display and information system (suitable for raster charts as well as for DX-90 charts when they become available); two "ECTAB" electronic chart tables, complete with Yeoman puck; NINAS nucleus integrated navigation system display; and three Nucleus color ARPA displays.

Polaris Equips Scientific Vessels

With Integrated Navigation Systems

Polaris International Ltd., of Gloucester, U.K., sold two SeisNet integrated navigation systems for use on seismic exploration vessels. The first is for 2D and hydrographic applications on the

R/V MTA Sismik 1, owned and operated by the

Turkish General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA). The second is for West- ern Geophysical as part of a complete 3D package for a vessel to be built by Ulstein in Norway for

Korean interests. SeisNet systems use sensor data to produce solutions for the positioning of seismic vessels and their streamers. Display options provide navigators with information on navigation data quality, steering, and real-time 3D binning. SeisNet can use inputs from propul- sion and rudder systems to provide control out- puts for automatic steering.
