Complex of software tools for information support of marine group actions

Software package of information support for actions of the marine group of mobile objects "SPRUT"

Assignment

The Sprut software package is designed to provide information support for the actions of the maritime group of mobile objects during joint rescue operations.

Composition

The key components of the complex are the automated workplace of the team leader (AWP WG) and the tablet of the leader of the operational boat (PROK).

Interaction Organization

All operational boats are subordinated to the support vessel, which provides the operational boats with information about the navigation situation and manages their actions. The complex provides for the connection of external consumers who are not part of the group, but can receive information circulating in the system to monitor the group's actions. Such external consumers may be, for example, coastal dispatch services.
