INTEGRATED SHIP TELECOMMUNICATIONS - THE FUTURE WAY

The communication and navigation services currently provided to maritime transportation vehicles leave much to be desired in meeting their requirements. Similarly, navigation systems used by the maritime industry is poorly integrated. This situation has been barely adequate in the past but will be highly inadequate in the future. A systems approach to the needed maritime telecommunication services is proposed. Utilization of new techniques in computers, space telecommunications, and ship control subsystems can be combined to provide an integrated system for effective and efficient ship systems. Some economic and conceptual factors are also examined. Needs of the maritime industry in this area and some ways in which an integrated system could be implemented are explored. The capability of reaching a goal of integrated maritime telecommunications is found to be potentially possible.
