[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] LIG Nex1's 'Ship Remote Maintenance Support System' has been unveiled.

On the 11th, LIG Nex1 announced that it revealed the 'Ship Remote Maintenance Support System' applying 4th Industrial Revolution technologies at the '2020 International Maritime and Safety Expo' held at Songdo Convensia, Incheon. The Ship Remote Maintenance Support System is a system that detects abnormal signs of ships located at sea in real time and supports rapid and effective situation response through augmented reality (AR)-based maintenance support and maintenance collaboration with experts at the support center.

At the remote support center operating this system, the status of ships received via Internet of Things (IoT) sensors is monitored in real time, and when abnormal signs such as remaining life and failure possibility of key components occur, the situation is conveyed to the on-site operators. Then, experts at the support center share the real-time view of the on-site maintenance personnel wearing AR equipment and support effective decision-making and situation response through text, location pointing, and transmission of technical data images.

Until now, there have been limitations in responding in real time when failures or maintenance issues occurred at sea. However, by introducing this system, the skills and know-how of experienced experts can be effectively applied remotely, which is expected to contribute to the effective operational performance of the Navy and the Korea Coast Guard.

LIG Nex1 plans to propose the Ship Remote Maintenance Support System by utilizing its development and mass production know-how of weapon systems including guided weapons used in marine environments, shipborne search radars, sonar systems, electronic warfare systems (SONATA), and shipborne multi-band multifunction radios (TMMR). At the exhibition, LIG Nex1 introduced not only the Ship Remote Maintenance Support System but also the Korea Coast Guard shipborne fire control system, drones for marine area management, multipurpose unmanned helicopters, and advanced surveillance and reconnaissance equipment.

A LIG Nex1 official said, "Through the fusion of LIG Nex1's accumulated know-how in guided weapons, surveillance and reconnaissance, communication equipment, and 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, we will present a ship remote maintenance support system optimized for maritime operational environments."
