OSI Maritime Systems (OSI) is extremely pleased to announce that it has partnered with CarteNav, a PAL Company. This partnership brings together the maritime tactical decision aids within OSI’s WECDIS and the exceptional data fusion compilation capabilities of CarteNav’s AIMS-ISR mission software and their AIMS-C4 common operating picture (COP) software to integrate shore, maritime, and air-based C4ISR systems.
A Partnership to Better Navigate Maritime Domain Awareness
Providing command teams with enhanced situational awareness is the first step towards improving OSI’s ability to enable customers to analyze the mission and develop an effective course of action.
OSI has provided our customers with integrated navigation and tactical solutions for over 20 years. The core Warship Electronic Chart Display System (WECDIS) product has an exceptional global reputation with 26 navies for enhancing their operational capabilities, security and safety in the maritime environment. OSI has further developed this capability to provide mission management solutions for naval and other government vessels.
The Integrated Mission Management System (IMMS) provides a Recognized Maritime Picture (RMP) to command teams on platforms without a dedicated warfighting combat management system.
Designed for vessels conducting Maritime Security and Interdiction Operations. IMMS enhances situational awareness with the ability to access the full spectrum of onboard sensors, including commercial and naval information and tactical data systems. With suitable communications the tracks and electro-optic video from collaborative manned and unmanned airborne platforms can be integrated into the picture and assessment process. Leveraging effective threat detection, classification and identification at range the command team decision making is significantly enhanced, offering timely and accurate targeting information for onboard weapon systems and data exchange for interception assets both surface and air.
This integration of systems is enabled by a wide range of plugin interfaces which can also be rapidly developed for customer specified new and novel capabilities. Coupled with OSI’s leading approach to GNSS denied operations IMMS is designed to continue to operate safely and effectively in complex maritime environments to manage a composite and diverse maritime picture. From detection, classification, presentation, decision and action – all delivered in one package. Now with the integration of CarteNav’s AIMS-ISR mission software and their AIMS-C4 common operating picture (COP) software, IMMS capabilities are broadened to a much wider range of operational requirements.
AIMS-ISR has been extensively used by air, land, and maritime forces worldwide to deliver situational awareness to decision-makers by giving them access to near real-time ISR data, media, and historical information. With AIMS-C4, the RMP contributes to the Common Operating Picture (COP). This development has also extended the IMMS capability to the capture and analytics of both organic and offboard EOIR-derived video.
IMMS core capability is delivered in a modern, flexible architecture which allows further enhancement through integration with specialized applications, either through OSI partnerships with OEMS or provided by the customer, including, were appropriate, the NATO applications for sensor and data integration, picture compilation and battlefield chat. This system flexibility is designed to support the growing maritime security emphasis on uncrewed vehicles, whether remotely controlled or autonomous, novel sensors or effectors and specific customer platform tasking.
