The Italian group Fincantieri, together with Accenture, presented the concept of the smart ship ("smart ship") - a unified digital architecture for new generation warships. It replaces different software from different vendors in a common FDP platform, which combines automation, sensors and weapons.
The IDSMS control system operates on this basis, connecting units on board to the shore infrastructure. The EUCC protected circuit allows the ship to securely exchange data with shipyards, bases and maritime UAVs.
This architecture makes it possible to remotely accompany the fleet and update artificial intelligence modules without rebuilding the vessel, and the destroyers of the Italian Navy of the DDX project will be the first to receive it.
