The Royal Netherlands Army select Thales for 13 additional simulators for TACTIS
06 February 2008
The Netherlands Defence Materiel Organization has ordered a CV9035 NL vehicle platform including five fixed simulators and eight mobile systems which will be interconnected to the existing TACTIS System currently being set to work.
The CV9035 is a new vehicle, which will enter service with the Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA) from now to 2011. To provide the corresponding technical and tactical training to the Army, the Netherlands MoD decided to expand the RNLA's Thales Tactical Indoor Simulator (TACTIS).
An extension of the separate Logistic Support subcontract was signed with Thales Netherlands for the maintenance of the simulators for a period of 13 years. The partnership with Cap Gemini has been renewed and Van Halteren B.V. is welcomed as a key Dutch expert in CV9035NL design and development.
Chris Gane, VP Thales Simulation business and Adri Blokhuis, Thales Netherlands CEO are both very pleased to see the renewal trust of the Netherlands' Armed Forces in Thales as the TACTIS system extension has been ordered while the system is still being developed.
