Special Forces and Landing Craft NTD is capable of remote control, guidance and tactical data provision for amphibious operations and can be enhanced through the use of wireless networks and down loading plans from other systems. Employing these techniques allows boats and insertion vehicles to deploy personnel, move out to a holding area or recover personnel whilst unmanned. Logistic Transport Ships and LandingPlatform Docks Networked command and control functions allow planning, and execution of military operations without the need for separate systems. The NTD meets international standards for ARPA and ECDIS; it is then able to combine these features with the additional tactical features. When the NTD is then combined with optional WECDIS software the battle-space can be extended for amphibious and land operations, by using digital imagery and land map overlays. Mine Counter Measure Vessels Multiple NTDs in a networked command and control system for the bridge and operations centre provide highly accurate navigation and position keeping combined with tactical picture compilation. The NTD is able to control and deploy remote and umbilical controlled vehicles. The picture in picture capability increases safety of sweep or boat deck personnel when combined with onboard video or imaging systems. Submarines

NTD - Raising tactical and navigational awareness to new levels withtraditional and new technology.

The NTD allows the fusion of data from all sensors (Sonar, Command System, ESM, Radar, and periscope Infrared and Visual Video data) with submarine boat navigation software. Using de-mountable, ruggedised and waterproof systems the NTD range of displays are capable of being used on an open bridge. The modular nature of the NTD then allows these units to be used in the control room, with other NTD workstations once submerged. Frigates, Destroyers and Aircraft Carriers The NTD provides complementary radar only, WECDIS only or multi-use workstations to support and exchange data with the ship’s command system. The inherent flexibility and modular nature of the NTD is used to greatest effect when combinations of displays, processors and software options are used to form Naval Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS). The NTD IBS is then able to act as a tactical back up to the Command System as well as controlling position data for the vessel’s weapons systems.

Roles

Littoral Combat Ships, Corvettes and FastPatrol Boats. Options for tactical picture weapons control work stations can be employed to configure very cost effective command systems. For high speed vessels, the NTD is able to provide target acquisition and indication for weapon control systems when used with high-speed radar options.
