Our WECDIS solutions are International Maritime Organization certified and the only WECDIS system independently certified to comply with NATO WECDIS STANAG 4564.

Chart Display Engine

WECDIS-compatible chart engines display a diverse range of chart formats and satellite imagery including ENC, AML, encrypted charts, land contour maps, Bathymetry charts, and integrated vector/raster charts.

GPS-Denied Sensors

Interface with a diverse range of military and commercial navigation sensors to orient their position in a 3-D space. Sensor agnostic technologically allows Naval customers to select, configure, and optimize sensors to ensure the highest levels of performance and safety in new-build programs and in-service retrofits.

System Capability Modules

Extensions that can be deployed and integrated for mission critical functions such as Ship Helicopter Operating Limits (SHOL), digital navigation Radar Control interface, and Radar Image Overlay provide powerful positioning and situational awareness tools in demanding situations.

Systems Compatibility

Navigation Planning

Users optimization tools to plot, save, transfer, merge, and scan for hazards to reduce planning inefficiencies. Configurable route characteristics include planned speeds, wheel-over points, cross-track distances, action points, set & drift predictions, height of tide predictions, waypoint naming, and vessel turning data.

Quality Standards

Our manufactured components are sourced from NATO-friendly countries and meet all environmental response qualifications, shock vibrations, and durability standards. OSI solutions are IMO and NATO compliant for safety, (cyber) security, performance, compatibility, availability, maintainability, EM emissions control, and environmental conformance.
