 OSI Maritime Systems has signed a contract with Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT) to support the South African Navy’s Project BIRO, the company announced on 5 June.

The contract will see OSI deliver and install its Integrated Navigation and Tactical system, Tactical Asset Control and Tracking system and Integrated Mission Management system for three multi-mission inshore patrol vessels that are being built for the navy by DSCT.

OSI’s systems will be integrated with South African-specific sensors and data links that will offer blue-force tactical information to allow the command to build, manage and participate in a recognised maritime picture.

Project BIRO aims to develop South Africa’s maritime security to ensure the country has the capability to respond effectively, rapidly and cost-efficiently to maritime threats including illegal trafficking and fishing.
