ThalesRaytheonSystems chief executive officer Jack Harrington said the company would deliver a theatre air and missile defense system to ensure the future security of Nato deployed forces.
“Initial testing will take place during a Nato exercise in July, and the system is expected to be operational by the end of the year,” he said.
The ALTBMD programme is expected to increase the alliance’s command and control capabilities by integrating the alliance nations’ contributions in areas such as space-based shared early warning, early warning frigates and weapons systems.
ThalesRaytheonSystems will work with Nato’s C3 Agency to field InCa 2, marking the first operational use of Nato’s ACCS LOC1 software, currently being developed by the company as the prime contractor.
