Comms contract for The MEL Group

11th April 2016 - 09:30 GMT | by Shephard News Team

RSS

The MEL Group will provide internal communications equipment and support to the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for its Maritime Equipment Transformation (MET) programme under a contract announced on 6 April.

The contract covers the delivery of equipment including headsets, handsets, microphones, loudspeakers and associated equipment to the Royal Navy. Support will also be provided for equipment on legacy and future vessels, via the manufacture and repair of complete units, as well as the provision of spares, technical assistance and post design service tasks to solve obsolescence and allow for technical upgrades and modifications.

The MET programme aims to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the equipment management role and support solutions in order to deliver improved performance and value for the MoD.

Gary Harvey, managing director, The MEL Group, said: ‘We are proud to be chosen for the supply of in-service engineering support for the Royal Navy.

‘Our knowledge, experience and expertise has been built up over the years by working closely with the armed forces, including the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force. This has led to The MEL Group being recognised by the MoD, NATO and other operations as a modern and integrated total engineering solution provider.’
