BAE SYSTEMS awards contract for security evaluation of royal navy's type 45 destroyer communications system
06 Jun 2002
BAE Systems has awarded a contract for the security evaluation of the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyer's Fully Integrated Communications System (FICS) to Logica UK Ltd of Leatherhead, Surrey, United Kingdom, acting in the role of a CommerciaL Evaluation Facility (CLEF).
This represents a further significant phase in the fulfilment of the FICS programme - in February 2001, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence awarded a contract for the development and installation of the FICS to Thales Communications Ltd. The latter is working in partnership with the BAE Systems C4ISR's Communications & Defence Infrastructure team, based at Christchurch, United Kingdom, and Raytheon Inc, USA, to fulfil the requirement.
The contract award for security evaluation for Type 45 FICS follows closely upon the completion of the security clearance of the integrated internal and external communications systems being installed by Thales, in partnership with the BAE Systems team, on the Royal Navy's new Landing Platform Dock (Replacement) platforms, HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark.
The contract complements Logica UK Ltd's other commitments within the Type 45 programme. These include providing security evaluation services on the Data Transfer and Combat Management Systems, and supplying consultancy services for security evaluation to the BAE Systems Prime Contract Office.
