WaveHawk Command Information System

WaveHawk Naval Combat Management System is a flexible solution, providing a command view for naval operations. WaveHawk works side-by-side with command and control systems, providing a specialized capability that enables intuitive management, manipulation, and display of tactical information in both wartime and peacetime operations.

The WaveHawk Combat Management System supports:

  • Navigation requirements (ECDIS).
  • Pure tactical systems (tactical plotting table).
  • Combined navigation/tactical system (WECDIS to STANAG 4564)
  • Integration for operations with land C4ISTAR Systems.
  • Chart, mapping, and tactical data in many different data formats (including UKHO ARCS, S57 data and Additional Military Layers).

The system has a number of interface ports (including two RS232 serial ports) that can be configured to accept information from the ship’s sub-system, normally in the form of track information from radar, sonar, etc. This is displayed together with the ship’s own data on a geographical backdrop, which presents positions based on the selected projection and coordinate system. The system can interface with other equipment via a Local Area Network and has a parallel port to support printing or read/write devices.

WaveHawk’s CMS’ unique display manipulation capabilities and the intuitive Human-Computer Interface (HCI) permit the generation of tactical information views, providing the ability to create clear command insight into the collated data set.

Features:

  • Data assigned to multiple layers for easy display and information management.
  • Built in data log - supports extended missions with a replay facility.
  • Special functions, which include man overboard, relative velocity tools and weapon danger zone.
  • Collating and displaying data autonomously to assist in command decisions.
  • Standard touch screen, keyboard, and cursor control interface.
  • Command screen is operated by a dedicated “hot key” membrane allowing the command view to be manipulated independently of the operator view.
  • Customized function keys
