New Generation of Integrated Navigation

GERMAN MARINE EQUIPMENT | NAVIGATION & COMMUNICATION CO2 New generation of SOx O integrated navigation NO NOx RAYTHEON ANSCHÜTZ The German navigation system supplier Raytheon Anschütz has recently launched its new generation of Integrated Navigation System (INS). The Synapsis Bridge Control series was designed to add further safety to navigation, to simplify operation for users and to offer highest flexibility for most individual bridge configurations. Innovative functions were added, that contribute to voyage optimisation and to increased fuel efficiency.
