Lyngso Marine Updates Product Line Lyngs0 Marine of Denmark has updated and improved its Stella product line, namely the UMS/UCS 2100 alarm and control system and the DMS 2100 bridge control system. "The new series sets a standard for alarm and con- trol systems which not only meets today's requirements from the leading classification societies, but also satisfies the demands of the owners well into the next century," commented Kjeld Dittmann of Lyngs0.

The marine satellite phone sys- tem — to be marketed under the name Wavetalk — provides private digital communications in voice, data and fax for mariners through- out virtually all North American waters. The Series 1000 operated on American Mobile Satellite Corporation's AMSC-1 satellite in the U.S.; TMI Communications and Company, Limited Sperry Enhances VOSS Technology; Supplies Smart Tech To Navy Ship Sperry Marine has updated its Vessel Optimization and Safety System (VOSS) in a project joint- ly undertaken with a Maritech grant. Major technical develop- ments include high speed data transmission via ship-shore satellite communications and modems; cost-effective sensors; and powerful desktop computers. The result is a VOSS which pro- vides long range sea/swell fore- casts and monitors vessel motion, structural responses and engine/propeller performance. The system is currently installed on three ships and will be tested on a SeaRiver tanker and an APL containership this winter. Integration of the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) with the central alarm system is also in progress. In other developments at Sperry, the company's Integrated Bridge System (IBS) is being sup- plied to USS Yorktown, the Navy's first Smart Ship, a gov- ernment/industry effort aimed at significantly reducing ships' manning requirements while maintaining the highest stan- dards of safety and operational flexibility. "By automating data gathering and less sophisticated ship-oper- ating functions, sailors can con- centrate their time on navigating and warfighting functions," said Walter Starkey, Sperry's Smart Ship program manager. Testing of Phase 1 on Yorktown reported- ly already points to a possible reduction in bridge manning requirements by as much as 70 percent. Also involved in the Smart Ship program are NSWC Carderock, CAE Electronics, IDAX, ITS, QED Systems and Intergraph.
