Press release from thyssenkrupp Marine Systems 06.09.2019
The system called ORCCA combines for the first-time maximum adaptability with the highest level of IT security. It enables its operator to conduct an integrated data analysis from a wide range of systems on board via one multifunctional console – for a sound and quick decision-making process.
Kathrin Rohloff, CEO of kta naval systems: „ORCCA is the most modern combat system for non-nuclear submarines on the market. We brought together the expertise of our colleagues at ATLAS ELEKTRONIK and Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace to create a unique combat system. We will equip all future submarines from thyssenkrupp with this highly integrated system."
The modular design enables the integration of new technologies and the adaptation to changing deployment scenarios throughout the lifetime of the system. Customers can constantly advance their combat system onboard to adapt to new requirements and to ensure that they always have the most recent available technology on board; no matter if in 10, 20 or 30 years.
The system shows this kind of flexibility already at installation: Subsystems from the respective customer countries can easily be integrated. In addition, the system can be used for all submarine classes of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems – whether newly built or retrofitted.
ORCCA enables its operators to interact as part of a unit in multinational missions like NATO or EU missions. The communication between the systems on board and to the national and in addition to the international domain modules is separated by a special IT infrastructure. ORCCA guarantees high speed and maximum security across the various communication channels.
