The Brazilian Tamandaré class frigate programme is making significant progress, with Anschütz preparing for the next phase of the initiative. Following the successful delivery of navigation systems in the first half of the year, Anschütz commenced extensive technician training in mid-August to ensure a smooth commissioning of the integrated bridge systems.
Anschütz has been awarded the contract to supply a comprehensive SYNAPSIS NAVAL integrated bridge system for the new frigates, along with a tailored package of integrated logistics support and various local services. The local service activities for these systems will be managed by Anschuetz do Brasil Sistemas Maritimos Ltda. in Rio de Janeiro, serving as the primary point of contact for the Brazilian Navy.
“We are proud to contribute to a programme that creates so much value for Brazil, advances the maritime industry and innovation, and increases the safety of our waters,” said Leandro Pinto, Managing Director at Anschuetz do Brasil. “With high commitment and excellence in technology and service, we are leading the way as the Anschütz team alongside the Brazilian Navy.”
A group of Brazilian technicians recently completed training, gaining comprehensive knowledge of the latest generation of navigation, control, and bridge systems from the manufacturer’s perspective. This training equips them to provide first-class service to Anschütz’s customers throughout the lifecycle of the new vessels, starting from commissioning and testing.
The SYNAPSIS NAVAL integrated bridge system for the Tamandaré class frigates will feature multifunctional workstations tailored for radar and Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) applications, as well as steering, autopilot, closed-circuit television, and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
With SYNAPSIS NAVAL, the Brazilian frigates will be outfitted with a high-quality and proven Warship Integrated Navigation and Bridge System (WINBS), currently utilized in some of the world’s most demanding naval projects. Its high scalability and open system architecture allow for optimal adaptation to the evolving requirements of the Brazilian Navy, positioning the programme for future success.
