CONTRACT NEWS IN BRIEF

October 10, 2003 by

30 Oct 03. AMS has been awarded a contract for the supply of the NAUTIS-3M command system by the NEC Corporation of Japan for the Japanese Sugashima Class Minesweeper (Coastal). This follows on from the updated Licence and Technical Assistance Agreement placed in 2002. The placement of an order for a shore based reference system and software generation facility is expected in the near future. The first NAUTIS-M command systems were supplied to Japan, for the Minesweeper fleet, in 1996.
