Navigating the Future, Today
Exceptional operational performance is an ever-increasing requirement of today"s shipowners. Some of the most significant elements of operational performance include risk reduction and navigational safety. Many ship systems in use today tend to overwhelm ship"s officers with on-screen information, while only a fraction of the information presented is useful at any given time. This approach tends to degrade operational performance and prolong the learning process unnecessarily. The L-3 MAPPS Integrated Bridge Control System (IBCS) is designed to assist the navigator in selecting information that is deemed relevant to the operational situation by collecting, processing and presenting navigational and/or other relevant data, without cluttering the displays with other information that may not be needed at that moment.
One of the world"s largest operators of high-speed container ships expresses: "The L-3 MAPPS IBCS lets the crew focus on the task at hand. They get exactly the information they need in a clear, uncluttered format - reducing the risk of accidents. It is easy to learn because of its intuitive uniform design.
The L-3 MAPPS IBCS meets our operational requirements. Higher productivity makes it possible to use smaller crews. The easy-to-use system streamlines maintenance and reduces cost. "
The L-3 MAPPS approach to navigation and integrated bridges is different than all others, and is based on a solid background of system integration expertise, sea-going experience, and innovative engineering. While the philosophy for integrated bridges of most suppliers is that of a physically integrating numerous different hardware and software systems into one console, the L-3 MAPPS Integrated Bridge takes a completely different approach focussing on functional integration. This approach allows any navigation function to be performed from any workstation. The networked approach that brings the functionality together also allows for easy integration with other ship systems. L-3 MAPPS" IBCS is based on the belief that improved man-machine interaction results in increased safety
