Anschütz SYNTACS mission systems at WDS 2024

German naval systems integrator Anschütz GmbH exhibits its SYNTACS mission system at the World Defense Show 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

Anschütz has delivered integrated mission systems for navigation and Command and Control (C2) for a total of 58 HSI-32 high-speed interceptors built by the French shipyard CMN, part of CMN NAVAL shipbuilding group, for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces.


The core of these mission systems is SYNTACS, an innovative, efficient and scalable C2 system delivered in a package combined with navigation and communications. Integrated on multifunctional workstations, this gives operators on board and ashore comprehensive, unrivalled situational awareness and complete control of the mission at any time.

Integrated on multifunctional workstations, this gives operators on board and ashore comprehensive, unrivalled situational awareness and complete control of the mission at any time.

While conventional systems often include navigation systems, combat systems, sensors, and other subsystems from different manufacturers, SYNTACS consolidates all these functions into one integrated bundle. This streamlines installation, training and maintenance processes, resulting in reduced costs at the shipyard. Ultimately, this cost efficiency translates to savings for the end customer as well.


SYNTACS is sensor-independent and features advanced tactical target management that analyses and correlates data from multiple on-board sensors (e.g. navigation) and monitoring systems.


The classic navigation image was transformed and enhanced and has ultimately evolved into a comprehensive situational depiction. This refined representation is made available through a unified user interface designed for both navigation and mission management. In addition to primary navigational applications such as the (naval) radar and the (warship) electronic chart display and information system, SYNTACS introduces a well-organised dashboard. This dashboard provides access to tactical navigation, mission planning and execution, as well as fundamental combat capabilities.


Capabilities include:


  • Solid-state radar for surveillance and navigation (type-approved)
  • Defined alarm and protection zones with integrated interception function
  • Seamlessly integrated electro-optical system for identification and surveillance
  • Integration and management of weapon systems
  • Data links for exchanging routes, targets and a common operational picture
  • Various software modules for mission management, mission data recording and other special use cases in the context of maritime domain awareness and coastal security
  • Designed for remotely controlled operations

Life-cycle solutions for maximum availability of mission and navigation systems
Anschütz navigation and mission systems are designed for high operational availability, backed by excellent technical support and maintenance services. These include comprehensive in-service-support packages, ensuring maximum mission readiness throughout the lifetime of the vessels.

Benefits from individual life-cycle solutions:

  • Holistic, proactive customer support reduces admin workload
  • Preventive maintenance significantly reduces downtime / need for repairs
  • Fast response, highly skilled technical support and maximum spare part availability
  • Highest uptime and full operational capability of vessels at all times
  • Regular software updates to ensure most up-to-date capabilities are available
  • Ongoing training programme consisting of classroom and hands-on education
  • Planning security at predictable costs
In Saudi Arabia, Anschütz works with local partners to deliver and integrate the navigation and mission systems and to handle customer service. For example, High Capabilities Telecom Co. (HiCap) is a close partner to Anschütz in the HSI-32 programme and beyond, delivering equipment and providing services related to the SATCOM integration with the SYNTACS C2 system. As another example, SAMI Navantia and Anschütz are working together in the field of navigational radars in support of the AVT 2200 RSNF programme as well as future newbuilding programmes in the Middle East region.
