With the first contract, worth 4 million Euros, SELEX Sistemi Integrati will fit the new Interforce Operative Command (COI) operation room and realise a web portal for Defence. The operation room will be developed together with Elsag Datamat and, within 15 months starting from the contract signature, SELEX Sistemi Integrati will provide turn-key facilities for the management and supervision of operations and training, both in area and out of area.
The web portal will be realised by SELEX Sistemi Integrati according to a net-centric approach, which will allow the operators to acquire information overcoming the previous hierarchical levels of authorisations.
The second agreement with TELEDIFE has a value of 3 million Euros and is related to the development of the second phase of the MAJIIC (Multi-Sensor Aerospace-Ground Joint Interoperable ISR Coalition) programme. MAJIIC is an international multilateral cooperation programme issued by the Ministries of Defence of countries belonging to NATO. Its main task is the definition of a common architecture allowing the development of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
The operations will be realised by using a wide range of systems and sensors already in use by the Armed Forces of the countries involved. In the MAJIIC programme SELEX Sistemi Integrati will develop the new ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) technologies for national systems based on applications for command, control, communication and intelligence, surveillance, acquisition and target reconnaissance (C4ISTAR).
With the third contract signed with TELEDIFE , for a value of 2.4 million Euros, SELEX Sistemi Integrati will provide the upgrading of the ATCR 33 radar for air traffic control, installed in the firing ground of the Italian Army in Nettuno (Rome). The agreement will grant a complete revision of the antenna and of the radar equipments.
SELEX Sistemi Integrati will upgrade the radar systems by using the most recent solutions, included the interconnection in optics fibre between the operational room and the radar equipments, the introduction of secondary radar system and the installation of new and modern consoles for a better monitoring of air traffic over the Army base.
