Vessel Traffic Management Systems
Product on show: Vessel Traffic Management Systems (VTMS)
In the naval and maritime sector SELEX Sistemi Integrati has also developed an integrated Vessel Traffic Management System network to cover and manage a wide geographical area, such as its first widest application: the Mediterranean basin.
The System architecture is based on multiple control layers, identified as: Local, Area and Central, interacting at different operational levels. Each level supports the operational coordination and decision, according to its mission. The local stations in this architecture directly collect data from the Sensor Sites and interact with traffic. The VTMS developed by SELEX Sistemi Integrati are available in fixed, transportable and mobile versions.
The worldwide widest VTS is the Italian nation-wide VTS. It is an example of network-centric Integration of maritime, operational, safety and security services, guaranteeing a full, real time coverage of 7,500 kilometres along the Italian coast, thanks to a National Centre, 14 Area Centres allocated into Maritime Directions which receive information from 82 local sites, 100 sensors sites and three mobile units. All the VTMS the Company has been worldwide awarded contracts for, take advantage of this unique experience achieved by SELEX Sistemi Integrati.
The company sold its VTMS to Poland, Greece, Saint Petersburg, and more recently, in Yemen.
