Northrop Grumman Corporation has received a contract from MPRI Ship Analytics International, a subsidiary of L-3 Communications, to supply an integrated bridge system for a training simulator for the Arab Academy of Science, Technology and Maritime Transportation in Egypt.
The simulator, manufactured by Northrop Grumman's Sperry Marine unit, will be used to train maritime students in navigation and ship handling using state-of-the-art integrated bridge system technology.
Sperry Marine is supplying a completely functional ship bridge, including radars, navigation stations, heading and speed sensors, autopilot, steering system and other components, including a multi-console Voyage Management System with Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) meeting the International Maritime Organization carriage requirements. The Sperry Marine bridge equipment will be integrated by MPRI Ship Analytics into the training simulator, which was delivered to Egypt by the end of 2004.
