OSI Maritime Systems develops naval navigation software and integrated navigation systems for surface ships and submarines. Headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, the company combines software, sensor integration, servers and operator workstations in systems designed for military maritime operations.

ECPINS software and INTS integration
ECPINS is the navigation software at the centre of several OSI offerings. Its functions include electronic chart presentation and navigation and tactical tools. The software portfolio includes versions and modules for different vessel types and operational requirements. OSI software.
The Integrated Navigation and Tactical System, or INTS, brings ECPINS together with radars, navigation sensors, servers and workstations. OSI describes a scalable system that can also exchange information with a vessel’s combat management system. This places INTS at the bridge-system integration level, while ECPINS provides the underlying navigation software. INTS product description.
TDNS submarine navigation
OSI’s Tactical Dived Navigation System, or TDNS, addresses submarine navigation. Published functions include chart displays, navigation fixing, position-error calculations and water-space management. OSI offers integration with third-party hardware as well as standalone console arrangements, allowing the installation to be adapted to the submarine’s architecture. TDNS product description.
Canadian naval program work
OSI identifies the Royal Canadian Navy’s Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships as a Canadian application. According to the company, Lockheed Martin Canada contracted OSI to design, build and install Integrated Navigation and Bridge Systems for the ships. OSI says the shipsets were developed, built and tested in Burnaby before delivery to Irving Shipbuilding for installation. AOPS project account.
This provides a documented example of Canadian navigation-system development and shipyard integration. The precise software version, sensors and interfaces remain specific to each vessel program.
