The Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) has awarded a contract to Babcock for the supply of an automated control and management system (ACMS).
The new ACMS will interact with 25 sites across Norway, and is expected to enable the secure delivery of data and voice communications between Norwegian Joint Headquarters (NJHQ) and the armed forces.

Tailored to address NDLO requirements, the system will feature several operator workstations for the coordination of messages and transmission through a high frequency (HF) network, as well as the hardware needed for secure management, encryption, broadcast and receipt of all transmissions.
NDLO Section Project Branch / Nato, Sensor and C2IS head Jon Tiller said: "The tender from Babcock was comprehensive and met all the requirements of the NDLO / CIS."
Babcock Defence Systems Technology Communications Systems and Support director Tom Mulhall said: "The new system will boost capability and reliability and deliver a robust, efficient service through progressive modernisation of infrastructure."

Babcock used its expertise in operating HF communications systems for armed forces, Nato and other authorised users, including the defence high-frequency communications service (DHFCS) network for the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), to develop ACMS.
Under the contract, the company’s specialist instructors will also provide training courses for NDLO operators, administrators and technicians.
