Exelis has successfully completed the sea acceptance test of the Command Management Information System (CMIS) on the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Senja, the company said on 20 January.

The test formed part of a wide-ranging modernisation effort of the ship’s command and control capabilities that included integrating tactical data link, computer and display upgrades, a navigation distribution upgrade, and security enhancements.

The CMIS incorporates commercial components with Exelis-developed operations software. The technology will be deployed aboard two Norwegian Coast Guard capital ships and one ice-strengthened vessel over the next two years.

Jim Brunelle, senior director of undersea systems business, Exelis, said: ‘The Exelis technology enables them to safely control their ships and helicopters in the high seas and challenging weather conditions of the North Atlantic.’

The Exelis CMIS design provides the performance and scalability needed to meet the requirements of a broad range of maritime platforms. The system can also be easily extended to support new sensor packages such as electronic support measures or advanced sonar systems.
