Under the research and development agreement, the companies will renew minesweeper fleets, fast patrol boats, and hydrographic vessels.<\/p>\n
The ten-year collaboration will generate business opportunities while focusing on the development of new generation products.<\/p>\n
With specialisations in different areas, the industrial integration will strengthen the programmes for the renewal of fleets of hunting vessels, fast patrol boats and hydrographic vessels. <\/p>\n
The companies Italian research centre and production plants will invest in robotics, unmanned technology, and naval engineering.<\/p>\n
It will also invest in necessary aspects for the production of multirole units for both coastal and offshore vehicles.<\/p>\n
The developed systems will have the capability to fight to mine and control the sea, meeting all mission requirements. Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment. <\/p>\n
