Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) modernization

Client:

Maritime Rescue Coordination Center of the  Lithuanian Naval Forces (LNF)

Period:

2016/12 – 2017/05

Project description:

The main goal of this project – modernization of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), is to ensure that the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) of the Navy of the Lithuanian Armed Forces is able to accept a distress signal and to provide high-quality radiotelephony (voice) and data exchange communication with ships and authorities participating in search and rescue operations in the A2 area.

The GMDSS consists of the following parts: a GMDSS operator’s console, which integrates the following equipment: a GMDSS AD (HF/MF) 250W DSC Class A radio station (transmitter and receiver, antenna tuning device); a GMDSS LAD (VHF) DSC Class A radio station; a GMDSS Inmarsat mini-C station with a terminal; a GMDSS air band radio station; an LAD (VHF) radio station with programmable channels; a personal computer with a monitor integrated in the console for displaying NAVTEX messages; GMDSS software licenses to ensure GMDSS functionality; a voice communication terminal of radio stations enabling the operator to work with all radio stations simultaneously; an uninterruptible power supply.

During the implementation of the project, the existing partially functional GMDSS console was uninstalled, and a new GMDSS was designed, installed, configured, and fine-tuned, while users were trained to use the system.
During the project, modernization of the GMDSS included dismantling the high-frequency radio station located in the Nida maritime observation post of the Navy of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, replacing it with a new one, updating the existing GMDSS V4 software, and adjusting it to the GMDSS used by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) of the Navy of the Lithuanian Armed Forces.

Lithuanian and Greek businesses discover each other in new areas

21-03-2017. Lithuanian-Greek economic and business relations have the potential to grow, and certainly not only in the traditional economic sectors of both countries, such as tourism, the food industry or agriculture. One example of successful new cooperation between Lithuania and Greece is the cooperation between Elsis TS, a Lithuanian engineering and communication technology company, and INTRACOM Defence Electronics (IDE), a Greek defence industry company, which has been established and is developing rapidly. Last year, the companies signed a cooperation, investment and technology transfer agreement, under which an investment project is being implemented in Lithuania, contributing to the development of the capabilities of both the Lithuanian Armed Forces and the Lithuanian defence industry.

Lithuanian Ambassador to Greece Rolandas Kačinskas had the opportunity to hear directly from Tomas Vrubliauskas, CEO of Elsis TS, who participated in a seminar organised by INTRACOM Defence Electronics on 21 March on innovative solutions offered by the defence industry to the armed forces, to get an assessment of the experience of the cooperation between a Lithuanian company creating a high added value with the Greeks.

The seminar was also attended by military and defence industry representatives from Greece, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the UK, the USA and several other countries.
