The Highlander Intelligent Bridge integrated navigation system (HLD-INS 600) is the second-generation INS from Highlander. HLD-INS 600 is the first integrated navigation system in China that has passed type approval tests from both CCS and DNV-GL, fully meeting the requirements of IMO MSC.252(83) and IEC 61924-2.

HLD-INS 600 is composed of multifunction workstations that can be easily configured according to each customer's individual requirements — from radar or ECDIS up to a fully integrated multifunctional workstation providing data, features and functions. Each workstation supports route planning, route monitoring, collision avoidance, navigational control data display, status display, and alert management.

HLD-INS 600 seamlessly integrates sensors for heading, position, target detection, and other safety-related data. Its consistent user interface design provides convenient operation to reduce sailor workload and stress, enabling more efficient task execution.

BENEFIT

· Improve Safety

• Safe decision making and precision navigation by providing reliable and validated information.

• CCRS (Consistent Common Reference System) checks all sensor data, selects the best data, and transfers it to all modules in the system via LAN to make sure all modules use the same data.

• CAM, which aims at minimizing the total number of alerts, supplies the presentation and handling of all alerts to avoid misunderstanding due to complex alert information.

• The overlay of RADAR, AIS, weather data and NAVTEX enhances the safety.

• The redundancy of multifunctional workstations reduces the influence of failure of a single RADAR, or single ECDIS, or single point.

· Increase of efficiency

• The system simplifies the operation of routine tasks to reduce workload and stress and increase efficiency.

• The multifunctional workstation allows users to perform many tasks on one workstation — for example, viewing and checking all navigational data and alert information, adjusting luminance — which saves time.

• All workstations use the same data, which makes use of data convenient and increases efficiency.

• CAM supplies a consolidated presentation of all alerts to reduce the time required for judgment.

• Track control keeps the ship sailing on the route to release sailors from frequent rudder adjustment, reducing workload and stress.

• The consistent user interface design makes operation convenient and shortens the learning curve.

· System customized

• HLD-INS 600 is designed based on several standard hardware modules and a consistent user interface design. All data, including RADAR echo, are collected, analyzed, and transmitted via LAN. This enables flexible system configuration according to each customer‘s individual requirements, including budget. Based on redundancy, the minimum of three workstations is required to supply tasks of route planning, route monitoring, collision avoidance, navigational control data display, status display, and alert management.
