Platform control and automation
Article Abstract:
The German Navy is one of the first to use automated platform systems on board its ships. This was achieved by installing a technology called Integrated Platform Management System. The German Class 343 Fast Minehunters were the first ships to be equipped with IPMS. Its success has prompted the use of the IPMS on new German naval projects that include frigates, corvettes, submarines and combat support ships.
