NEW MALDEN, U.K., Sept. 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman
Corporation's (NYSE:NOC) Sperry Marine business unit has been selected to supply
full Integrated Bridge Systems (IBS) to the Royal Thai Navy's future frigates.
The contract is to supply a full IBS system to the Royal Thai Navy through the
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering shipyard, with options for three
additional systems. The IBS includes the VisionMaster(TM) FT family of products
and navigation systems such as NAVIGAT(TM) X MK1 gyrocompass, NAVIKNOT(TM) speed
log, a Warship Automatic Identification System, and a Voyage Data Recorder
(VDR). Delivery is scheduled for June 2016 and Sperry Marine's service agent FT
Marine will provide commissioning.
Sperry Marine has previously supplied equipment to the Royal Thai Navy flagship
vessel, HTMS Chakri Naruebet. The company has also been selected to supply X and
S-band radars, as well as a VisionMaster(TM) FT ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display
and Information System), a speed log and gyrocompass systems to the Royal Thai
Navy's patrol boat currently being built in the Naval Dockyard shipyard.
"These latest orders validate the outstanding relationship built over many years
between Sperry Marine and the Royal Thai Navy," said Jeanne Usher, managing
director, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine. "Our Warship Electronic Chart Display
and Information System (WECDIS) is designed to support the operational
requirements of the modern navy and provide navigation teams with an integrated
electronic navigation picture. This reduces navigator workload and improves
situational and tactical awareness for the ship's crew."
