ST Electronics Showcases Maritime Solutions
@ IMDEX 2005
17 – 20 May 2005

Singapore, 12 May 2005 — Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics) unveils a suite of systems and products that provides better security and efficiencies to the maritime industry. From integrated communications to intruder detection, surveillance to simulation systems as well as training and consultancy services, ST Electronics ensures that the maritime industry, ports and key installations are equipped with the highest quality systems solutions to meet their needs.

Below we provide a short synopsis of our key maritime solutions that range from ruggedised consoles to integrated communications switches and from simulation systems to training for merchant marine and security training.

Please visit us at IMDEX2005 exhibition, Booths 300, Singapore Expo, Hall 2 from 17 - 20 May 2005.

1) COBALT ST3130 - Rugged Light Console
The COBALT ST3130 Rugged Light Console system utilises light material and structure, and the latest commercial-off-the-shelf electronics technology to provide multi-functional interactive man-machine interface for operators. The system is airborne-ready and is also suitable for light vehicles or vessels, enabling users the flexibility to use industry standard or customised application software to realise their functionality over a range of command and control applications. Its compact size is suitable for small cabin environments while the modular construction makes for ease of installation in confined spaces. The wide-screen, superfine colour LCD display is suited for 2-in-1 screen display, minimising the use of premium space in any compact environment.

2) ST2800 Shipboard Integrated Communications System (SICS)
The SuperneTTM ST2800 Shipboard Integrated Communication System (SICS) meets the mission-critical needs of today's Navies. The state-of-the-art SICS integrates a variety of communication systems - radio, public address/alarm, PABX, telephones, recorder, data terminals and Satcoms, to provide voice and data services from fixed and wireless intelligent user terminals. The compact and light-weight wireless terminals allow operators the convenience to roam freely while in constant communications. The feature-rich system is not only designed for ease of operation, but also ensures high survivability and availability due to its distributed and fault-tolerant architecture. The SICS allows the interoperability of radios in different bands of frequencies. This feature enables different agencies to interoperate among one another.

Based on Voice over IP (VoIP) and Radio over IP (RoIP) technologies, the SICS is easily scalable, modular and expandable. It can be easily configured or customised to offer the most cost-effective solution to fulfill the communication needs of small, medium and large naval platforms.

3) Nemis (Cooled Handheld Thermal Imager)
NEMIS is a true state-of-the-art third generation thermal imaging camera, using the cooled focal plane array (FPA) technology. It offers compactness with performance unmatched in its class.

Attention to ergonomic details and operating performance have resulted in a thermal imaging camera that offers cost effective solution to both military and para-military customers. The NEMIS can detect human sized targets at up to 1800m away.

4) Ship Handling Simulator (SHS)
The STTS Ship Handling Simulator (SHS) imparts comprehensive training experience that is close to real time and at all levels of competencies, in handling ships in the areas of navigation, manoeuvring and emergency situations under various formations and environmental conditions. Trainees will be able to gain vital knowledge, both individually and as part of the team, in understanding the effects on the behaviour of the ship in relation to wind, current, shallow water, banks and other external conditions .

This capability allows trainees to further understand the importance of thorough planning for a passage in manoeuvring, anchoring, coming alongside and casting off from a berth in a crowded harbour. In addition, trainees gain deeper insights to efficient bridge procedures during watch-keeping and ship handling in routine and operational scenarios.

5) C2 System (C2S)
This is a Command and Control system that provides a consolidated geographical situational picture to enable better decision-making for commanders. It also interfaces to various sensor systems. It consists of an Alphanumeric Display (AD), Graphical Display (GD) and a touch screen panel. C2S also incorporates a Multi-sensor Data Fusion Engine which is implemented as an Embedded System (in PCI form factor) for optimum performance. It correlates and fuses information from multiple sensor systems to enhance situational awareness and provide better quality data for decision-making.

The system features

  1. Alphanumeric Display (AD) - allows for display of system status such as mode of operation and number of targets, messages alerts and system variables as well as link status to other systems.
  2. Graphical Display (GD) - a full set of graphical functionality that can be controlled via the touch screen. The following is a list of some of the functionality - displays simulated radar plots, displays range rings, simulates target movement, shows gridlines, data fusion, present map, gridlines, range rings, centres the cursor, performs off-centering of graphical display, presents / hides simulated radar plots
  3. Touch screen Panel - this allows for ease of target management. They enable the following functions - present target labels, speed vectors or target symbols, shows target history, displays / filters targets according to air, surface or subsurface, creates manual targets, hooks targets using track number.

For information on the full suite of solutions being exhibited please refer to the attached Fact Sheet which contains information on all our systems and solutions showcased at the Maritime Industry and Defence at IMDEX 2005.
