Combat Systems

ADI's naval combat systems are designed to meet the demands of modern naval warfare. These systems enhance a maritime command team's effectiveness in assessing complex situations while improving threat response times and control of onboard weapons and subsystems.

ADI's naval combat systems provide combat teams with multi sensor fusion of onboard/offboard sensors and datalinks to create a combined real-time information picture. These systems also provide command teams with the following capabilities:

• Control and monitoring of local sensors, weapons and subsystems to maximise situational response
• Multi sensor fusion of radar, acoustic, Elint and other data
• Integration with other combat subsystems
• Interoperability with own and allied forces
• Decision aids to formulate courses of action

ADI Delivers Combat Systems

ADI is developing the Australian Distributed Architecture Combat System (ADACS) as part of its overall solution to the Guided Missile Frigate (FFG) Project, SEA 1390. Real-time track management and display options represent the core of ADACS and ultimately allow operators of the system to evaluate tactical situations quickly and accurately.

System Functionality

ADACS provides the operator with a colour tactical display that utilises an intuitive, windows based graphical user interface. This display supports the presentation of tactical data, maps, alerts, system status, ownership data, TV and other digital imagery available from ship sensors. The tactical display also contains supplementary information such as the wide operational picture, status and alert data. The operator can also input data through fixed and variable action buttons located in two touch panels. One panel contains action buttons for tactical operations and the other for display operations. A third method of data input is via a trackball assembly that provides the operator with control of the display cursor on the tactical display.
