Navantia contracted OSI to design and deliver Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) for the Royal Australian Navy’s SEA 1654 AOR Program.
The ships carry fuel, dry cargo, water, food, ammunition, equipment and spare parts to provide operational support for the deployed naval or combat forces operating far from the port on the high seas for prolonged operational periods of time.
The IBS supplied for SEA 1654 is based upon OSI’s Warship Integrated Navigation & Tactical System (INTS) design, custom-built to the RAN’s requirements. As a type approved Integrated Navigation System (INS), INTS’s scalable architecture allows core capabilities to be designed to fit a range of bridge configurations, from offshore patrol vessels to large frigate designs.
INTS is supplied to multiple NATO and Allied navy programs, including the Royal Canadian Navy’s Canadian Surface Combat program, a design based upon the BAE Systems Type 26 Global Combat Ship.
