NTD

Navigation and Tactical Display - NTD

With over 250 years of experience and innovation, Kelvin Hughes’ engineers continue to lead the world in military display, radar and navigation technology. Over 30 navies world-wide are currently operating with Kelvin Hughes navigation systems.

By continuing to invest in research and development Kelvin Hughes are proud to be world leaders in this field of expertise.

Current research projects include radar antenna technology development and advanced signal processing techniques to enhance radar detection and tracking, amongst others.

The result of this history and success is demonstrated in the NTD.

The exceptional ability of the NTD to provide the user with the tactical picture, brings a Recognised Maritime Picture from the Operations Room (CIC) to the bridge team and other users. Multiple radar sources, data link systems, sonar, navigation, electronic warfare and optronic sensors into a concise format instantly recognisable in the modern warfare environment.

By combining both traditional and new technology sensors with all formats of electronic chart, mapping and reconnaissance data, the tactical and navigational awareness of the user is raised to a new level.

Allowing the user to create, copy or export true and relative tactical, operational or local overlays, the NTD increases overall tactical awareness. Torpedo search areas, weapon systems safety and ricochet danger zones,may also be displayed. This clearly presented information increases safety and allows for faster and more accurate decision making. Able to track both rotary and fixed wing aircraft, the NTD can provide secondary radar information such as RRB, Vesta or IFF. In addition the NTD also displays visual glide path representation to assist in the launch and

recovery of aircraft. Combining this capability with sonar search patterns and remote control of drones and underwater vehicles, the NTD is able to command and control all three dimensions of the battle-space. The NTD can be used equally as a stand-alone display or part of a wider network. Using modern manufacturing techniques the NTD combines truly rugged construction with state of the art PC technology. This allows displays to share information and to be networked using an Ethernet LAN or wireless network. Client Server techniques enable an unlimited number of displays to share information.
