Anschütz has successfully completed the refit of the integrated navigation system for RRS Sir David Attenborough. Since entering service in 2021, the polar research vessel has been equipped with navigation systems from Anschütz. As part of a recent refit, Anschütz has now supplied the vessel with a new, state-of-the-art SYNAPSIS NX integrated navigation system (INS), along with upgrades to the radar systems.
The new technology enhances the stability and performance of the bridge system, supporting safe navigation even under the most challenging polar conditions.
Built by British shipyard Cammell Laird, the RRS Sir David Attenborough is among the world’s most advanced polar research vessels. Measuring 129m in length, the vessel operates in Antarctica under the stringent requirements
