Integrated Bridge and Navigation System (Synapsis Bridge Control)
The Integrated Navigation System (INS) integrates any relevant data and functions of onboard navigational applications and sensors. The INS manages sensor data, routes, charts, and tracks, and also performs central services of the system like an intelligent central alert management.
Synapsis NX
the next level navigation system
The Integrated Navigation System (INS) integrates any relevant data and functions of onboard navigational applications and sensors. The INS manages sensor data, routes, charts, and tracks, and also performs central services of the system like an intelligent central alert management.
Synapsis NX is a state-of-the-art integrated navigation system (INS), combining all relevant navigation sensors and systems in a modular, user-centered system for safer and more efficient bridge operations. Navigators benefit from less distraction, superior situational awareness, decision support and less human error risk.
KeyBenefits
Situational awarenessSafe navigationSecure and futureproof
Right decision making through a clear picture of the prevalent situation.
- Seamless operation of any function or sensor from any workplace
- Standardized, clear structured user interfaces and a common, user-centered presentation of data and information
- Navigators receive a validated picture of the prevalent situation for right decision making
- Reliable sensors and helpful features support navigation in critical situations
Multifunctional workstations
Synapsis NX features multifunctional workstations that integrate any combination of our navigational applications. Thanks to standardized, modern user interfaces, navigators can experience very intuitive operations. The workstations also provide central and local change of color palettes and dimming and share individual and situation-specific user settings.

MainFeatures
Central management, analysis and distribution of sensor data
Synapsis NX provides central monitoring and integrated continuous plausibility checks of sensor data with regard to availability, integrity and reliability. Corrupted sensor data, as well as malfunction and disturbance, is detected, marked and excluded from selection and distribution.
Advanced target and zone managementTarget management associates targets between S-band radar, X-band radar and AIS. From this, system-level targets are created, which are further processed and used in the system (e.g. for CPA alerts).
Central, intelligent alert managementAlert management collects and analyzes alerts and determines, with regard to system configuration and status, whether the situation is sufficiently critical to set off an alarm, or whether the watch officer should only receive an alert of lower priority. Furthermore, any alert integrated into the system can be viewed and silenced at any workstation acc. to bridge alert management standard MSC.302(87).
Smart system architecture
Synapsis NX features a modular and flexible network infrastructure. Standardized hardware and LAN components provide the backbone for the system. Workstations and applications are added and configured with high flexibility. Synapsis NX is type-approved according to IMO performance and IEC test standards MSC.252(83)/IEC 61924- 2 for INS. It fulfills basic IMO requirements as well as highest class notations such as NAUT (AW) and NAUT (OSV).
The workstations use modular hardware (Small Marine Computer or Panel PC), and customers can choose from (chart-) radar, ECDIS, or conning software, either stand-alone or in any combination. The function of a workstation can be redefined at any time or expanded during the lifetime of the ship.
