Vagtplansystemer

Vagtplansystemer, also known as Naval tactical decision aids, are computer-based systems used by naval forces to support command and control decisions during naval operations. These systems are designed to assist flag officers, tactical action officers, and other commanders in planning and executing complex naval missions.

Vagtplansystemer typically involve a combination of simulation software, picture displays, and operator input tools to analyze and display various scenarios and data. The systems can handle different types of naval operations, including anti-piracy operations, amphibious landings, and multi-ship encounters. They can also simulate various environments, such as different sea states, weather conditions, and underwater acoustic conditions.

Some key features of Vagtplansystemer include the ability to visualize naval formations, track and predict the behavior of enemy forces, and offer suggestions for tactical maneuvering. The systems can also support command and control decision-making by providing integrated multi-intelligence hot displays with various textures and vertically layered displays.

Research and development of Vagtplansystemer has been conducted by navies and defense contractors worldwide, with many systems being developed as part of broader command and control systems. The systems have been applied in various regions, including the Baltic, Mediterranean, and Pacific oceans. Information about specific systems and their applications is typically classified due to their military nature.

Advancements in computer hardware, software, and visualization technologies have driven the development of Vagtplansystemer capabilities. Integration with advanced sensors and communication systems has also improved their usefulness for real-time command and control decision-making.
