Elbit Systems equipment for Hellenic Coast Guard
Elbit Systems has received a contract from Cantiere Navale Vittoria to supply combat suites and perform systems integration for three new patrol vessels being built for Greece’s Hellenic Coast Guard, the company announced on 5 March.
Work on this contract will be performed over a two-year period with warranty and logistic support continuing for an additional five-year period.
Under the contract, the company will supply and integrate systems including electro-optic payloads, radars, navigation systems, a warship automatic identification system as well as remote control weapon stations with full integration into a C2 software.
The combat suit has been designed to support future plug and play integration of UAS and USVs that will enable the expansion of the operational envelop of the patrol vessels beyond line of sight.
