OSI – Delivering Bridge Systems to Time, Cost, & Budget
OSI Maritime Systems has been providing advanced integrated navigation and tactical solutions to military customers for over 35 years. As a pioneer of Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (WECDIS), the company has grown to be a leading provider of complete integrated navigation and tactical solutions designed for naval and maritime security operations. OSI currently has 23 Naval Customers from around the world, with more than 600 warships and submarines operating with our world leading integrated navigation and tactical solutions.
- Navigation System Integrator
- Equipment Supplier
- Responsive Technical Team Support
At the forefront of the adoption of modern technology, the Brazilian Navy is one of these existing OSI Naval Customers:
PHM ATLÂNTICO Amphibious Assault Ship: The Brazilian Navy’s Flagship has a dual WECDIS capability on the bridge as well as Warship-AIS in the Operations Room.
NaPaOc AMAZONAS OPV: All three in the class have a dual WECDIS system, one on the bridge and one in the Ops Room.
TUPI/TIKUNA Class SSK have had a single Digital-Maritime Operations Plot D-MOP system installed during the upgrade of their combat management system.
Delivering a Complete Solution for the Shipyard
OSI Maritime’s all-inclusive bridge solution incorporates our WEDCIS navigation software (ECPINS) into an IBS offering that meets all the requirements of an Integrated Navigation System (INS) as defined by IMO MSC.252(83). Key elements of OSI’s whole-system offering are:
• A complete integrated solution that includes all navigation sensors, navigation radars and associated bridge systems integrated into one bridge system providing an efficient installation and set to work with less shipyard scheduling delays.
• OSI’s team of hardware engineers have successfully produced a range of custom hardware designs for both submarines and surface platforms. Able to design solutions for highly specialised vessels or against demanding physical constraints as well as meeting a wide range of stringent MIL-STDs for shock, vibration, EMI and IP
• Through a balanced approach to through-life-support, our customers receive maximum benefit and lower through-life costs, to optimize availability during operations. Coupled with an inherent understanding of the needs of the naval user, our systems and products are designed with the importance of reliability, maintainability and testability at the forefront.
• To sustain our bridge solutions, OSI provides a full range of tailored Support Solutions. We have a heritage and expertise in Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) combined with an in-depth knowledge of Availability, Reliability and Maintainability (ARM) methodologies. This enables us to design project specific support solutions that maximize Availability at a manageable and measurable Whole Life Cost (WLC).
• Cyber Security: Built around standards that represent industry best practices that includes OS lockdown, Red/Black Separation, Firewalls, User Authentication, as well as other advanced security protocols. Additionally, our software is 100% proprietary and has no reliance on 3rd-party software. Software is guarded against external threats that can cause significant delays to installation and shipyard delivery of platform.
OSI Maritime’s IBS is a modular system designed for ease of installation of the whole integrated bridge solution, delivering maximum capability for low cost and with low-risk to the shipyard.

OSI Maritime’s WECDIS Navigation System – ECPINS® – Software Capabilities
Additional Military Layers (AML) Edition 3 coverage
• Military rich Hydrographic information beyond that necessary solely for maritime navigation as defined by SOLAS.
• AMLs are intended enable interoperability supporting the principle of “operating off the same map”.AMLs provide the military maritime user with digital vector and gridded data to support situational awareness across the full range of warfare scenarios at every operating level from strategic planning to tactical operation.
AMLs provide the military maritime user with digital vector and gridded data to support situational awareness across the full range of warfare scenarios at every operating level from strategic planning to tactical operation.
Integration in CMS (Combat Management System)
• Thales TACTICOS
• LM Canada CMS330
• Raytheon AN/BYG-1
• SAAB 9LV
• BAES DNA
Our Navigation Tactical Data Distribution Unit (NavTac DDU) provides the interface between the CMS and the IBS and is a single data source from which all other systems can exchange information with the ship’s sensors.
Designed to interface with modern combat management systems, OSI’s NavTac DDU delivers a lowest risk, proven, technically compliant solution to satisfy the requirements of an IMO 252(82) data distribution sub-system for any Class of Surface Combatants or Submarine.
Warship AIS (W-AIS)
• Operators can change the contact’s name, symbol, or affiliation, as well as set an alarm when the contact is within or outside a specified range, and have the display show slower contacts as smaller symbols.
• Contacts of Interest – W-AIS provides tools to search, sort, filter, query, set alerts and export ARPA, AIS or CMS tracks.
• Deception and Spoofing – W-AIS provides the ability (subject to user-permissions and authentication) to adjust the information transmitted by ownship and to transmit simulated AIS contacts
Incorporating the same WECDIS look & feel, OSI Maritime’s W-AIS delivers a compiled Recognised Maritime Picture (RMP) and has multi-featured Operator Settings
GNSS Denied Operations
• Instant change to RelNav – Fix + DR or EP.
• Alarmed Primary/Secondary position sources.
• Radar Image Overlay – for display and operation
Enables continued safe open ocean navigation and pilotage in GNSS denied/spoofing environment.
Ship Helicopter Operating Limits SHOL
• Provides OOW / AC / FlyCO / FDO with key real-time data to assist safe launch and recovery of aircraft.
• Screen clearly displays ship’s heading, relative wind direction, pitch & roll and history and deck landing limitations.
• Displays preconfigured SHOL patterns for aircraft types cleared to that class of vessel in various configurations inc day / night ops; differing AUMs.
Greatly reduces OOW work load, improves bridge watchkeeping efficiency and increases the OOW/navigation safety as well as flying operations safety.
