The NS100 on the Royal Netherlands Navy’s other LPD, HNLMS Rotterdam, will be updated to parity with its sister ship.
The contract will also see the delivery and installation of Scout Mk3 surveillance radars on HNLMS Johan de Witt and Combat Support Ship (CSS) that is being built for the RNLN. The CSS will also receive a Thales IFF system.
