NSAG joint venture wins contract to supply Integrated Platform Management Systems
Navantia and NSAG have signed a $2.8m purchase order which will see NSAG supply the Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) to the Royal Australian Navy's AOR (Auxiliary Oil Replenishment) ships currently under construction under Defence’s SEA1654 program. The order was signed in Adelaide on 23rd. May.
A critical control system on-board a Navy vessel, the IPMS is key to the safety of sailors and provides a significant control over ship operation. The IPMS developed by NSAG has already been installed on the two Canberra Class Amphibious Assault Ships and aboard the three Hobart Class Destroyers.
NSAG, a Navantia Australia and SAGE Automation Joint Venture will install the enclosures and consoles and provide IPMS support under a 5-year support contract.
NSAG has submitted proposals for the Offshore Patrol Vessels and will be part of Navantia’s bid for the Future Frigates, opportunities that will bring to South Australian jobs that are in the most innovative space of the shipbuilding.
This latest contract brings the total Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ships with the NSAG IPMS to a total of 7, supporting more than 1500 crew to operate the RAN’s newest naval assets.
