OSI Maritime Systems has been selected by Lockheed Martin to provide its Integrated Bridge and Navigation System (IBNS) for the first four ships of the Royal Saudi Navy’s Multi-Mission Surface Combatant (MMSC) programme, the company announced on 1 May.
Under the contract, OSI will build and deliver a military grade system for the MMSC programme based on the system it designed for the US Navy's Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship programme.
Ken Kirkpatrick, president and CEO, OSI, said: ‘We are pleased to have the opportunity to support Lockheed Martin with this important project and equally proud of the working relationship we have with this prime in other programmes.
‘MMSC is our first Royal Saudi Navy related project and we look forward to future success in expanding our business in this large market.’
