Naval ECDIS roll-out begins

Article Abstract:

ECDIS-N, a naval version of the electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS) was introduced for merchant fleets, to enable navigation without paper charts in accordance with safety standards laid by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). However, it is reported that as navies gain practical insight into military use of ECDIS navigation aids, further refinement could be needed to bring the truly paperless warship to fruition.
