Northrop Grumman includes Admiralty information overlay to e-charts
UK NORTHROP Grumman has announced that its latest VisionMaster FT (VMFT) software now includes Admiralty Information Overlay (AIO) as part of its Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS).
This makes additional chart information available to ship navigators. In the past, navigators have relied on the Admiralty Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners (T&P NMs) to manually update paper charts.
AIO is a free service included with the Admiralty Vector Chart Service (AVCS). The overlay contains worldwide T&P NMs to be used in conjunction with ENCs.
AIO is also the only service to include ENC Preliminary Notices to Mariners (EPNMs), the result of the Admiralty Assurance Programme, a comprehensive review of the world' Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs).
"With Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine's AIO-compatible ECDIS, we enable our customers to plan and execute updated routes with increased safety and efficiency," said Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine managing director Jeanne Usher.
Said UK Hydrographic Office product chief Hugh Phillips: "We are very pleased to be working together with Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine to provide ECDIS users with the essential navigational information provided by AIO."
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber, C4ISR, and logistics and modernisation to government and commercial customers worldwide.
