AEUK announces ARCIMS order
Atlas Elektronik UK (AEUK) will supply its ARCIMS USV mission system to an unnamed customer under a contract announced on 21 February.

Antoni Mazur, managing director of AEUK, said: 'With this contract win AEUK will successfully integrate our sophisticated ASW mission system onto the modular platform which is ARCIMS. This demonstrates AEUK's ability to develop, supply and support cutting-edge, innovative technology for an increasing number of defence customers.'
The ARCIMS USV is a military specification 11m vehicle with a common platform design that is customisable for multiple mission roles.
