Mid November the first real IM-400 housing arrived at the Thales plant in Hengelo.
Built by the Netherlands Navy in Den Helder, this structure was transported by barge and hoisted on top of the test tower on the Thales premises.
In the next few months all equipment will be installed in the Integrated Mast structure and all test procedures will be started. The IM-400 will then be transported to the Damen De Schelde Shipyard in Flushing where it will be installed on the first Holland class Ocean Patrol Vessel that is currently being built for the Royal Netherlands Navy.
Four IM-400 systems will be built for the four Holland class OPVs. A fifth IM-400 Integrated Mast will be built for the Karel Doorman Joint Logistic Support Ship which is also under construction for the Royal Netherlands Navy.
