C-Scope Operator Display
“The 3D display application for ultimate
situational awareness”
is a high performance maritime awareness application for ports, coastal authorities, offshore
companies and military organisations. The C-Scope Operator Display breaks the land/sea divide and
provides unsurpassed real-time track plotting, 2D and 3D presentation, and analysis utilities. The C-Scope
Operator Display is available as a standalone system or as a module within a Kongsberg Norcontrol IT
solution.
Purpose
The C-Scope Operator Display is used to collect, present
and filter position dependent information, providing
decision support to numerous real-time, planning and
analysis activities including Vessel Traffic Services
(VTS), Coastal Surveillance and Automatic Identification
Systems (AIS).
Features
The C-Scope Operator Display is very fast – and it
handles vector and raster sea charts and land maps
seamlessly providing a smooth transition from one
domain to the next. C-Scope Operator Display uses S57 charting and DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data)
map
formats
as
standard.
C-Scope
offers
a
sophisticated GUI that can be customised to each end
user’s preferences. Multiple Chart Windows can be
opened with functionality such as:
– Chart navigation (zoom, pan, range, etc.)
– Radar and AIS tracks (symbol, vector and ID tag
depicting position and identity)
– Digitised radar video
– Bearing Lines from VHF/DF
– Detailed vessel data via Infolink to Management and
Information System (MIS)
– VTS function warnings
– Health Monitoring and System Alarms
– Data from other sensors (MetHyd, CCTV, SCADA,
VHF/DF, AIS, etc.)
– Measurements including CPA, TCPA, Interceptions,
Range and Bearing
– Presentation and management of drawn objects such
as Navigational channels, Traffic Separation
Schemes, Restricted Areas, Reporting Lines, etc.
Some objects are designed for military purposes,
e.g. mine corridors, Military Operations Other Than
War

3D Presentation
The C-Scope 3D presentation provides optimum
situational awareness - the Operator can view from any
position at any angle including from a ship’s bridge
wing!
The 3D display is based on Digital Terrain
Elevation Data (DTED) and USGS Digital Elevation Maps
(DEM). Functionality includes:
– Displaying Tracks and Objects using standard
symbols or 3D models
– Draping vector- and raster maps over the elevation
model
– Flight mode to fly through the landscape
¾ Analysis Tools
– Terrain analysis (elevation, profile)
– Analysis of optical, radar and radio coverage
– Time/space

¾ Track Management
C-Scope provides tools to present and manage tracks
including ships, vehicles, cranes and aircraft. Tracks are
presented in real-time utilizing user specified or
standard symbols such as APP-6A, NTDS and STANAG
4420. Animation is smooth, with updates at up to 10-20
per second with 1000 simultaneous tracks. C-Scope
has multiple track lists, which enable input from many
sources to be displayed and monitored simultaneously.
C-Scope includes extensive filtering and de-clutter
functionality with route planning and track simulation.
C-Scope offers support for use of user defined track
symbols.
Additional features
– Connection to a generic database through ODBC
thereby displaying position dependant information,
e.g. object data, text documents or graphical
pictures
– Support for drag and drop for OLE objects into the
charts
– Numerous raster display modules (e.g. ADRG,
CADRG, MrSid , Tiff)
– Integrated Replay Panel
– SAR (Search And Rescue) module
– Pocket C-Scope is a version running on a PDA
– METOC – meteorological and oceanographic data
– Interception tool to calculate Course to Intercept
(CTI) and Closet Point of Approach (CPA) for units

Interoperability
C-Scope is designed to be open and exchange track
data and drawn objects between several C-Scope
clients, and other network services. TCP/IP protocol is
used to enable easy integration to other networks. CScope can receive data from:
– Vessel Traffic Service (VTS)
– Automatic Identification System (AIS)
– NMEA
– Link 1, Link 14, Link 16 and OTH Gold
Height Profile Analysis
Platform
The C-Scope Operator Display is available on Intel
based computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 or
XP. C-Scope can run on a single computer with
charts/maps and databases installed locally or share
resources over a network.
