EID, the military communications systems company, has its system on board more than 50 ships in five Southeast Asian navies.
EID has secured a contract with the Indonesian shipyard PT PAL to supply two ICS systems for two new LPD’s that will integrate the Philippine Navy. This contract, together with an agreement signed in April for the delivery of two systems for Chilean Navy ships, demonstrates the Portuguese company’s position in the international market.
The ICCS, completely designed, produced and supplied by EID, aims to improve the efficiency and safety of communication operations on board warships. The system, which benefits from a modular and flexible concept, can be adapted to a variety of operational scenarios according to military requirements both in land and sea.
This contract secured by EID with PT PAL comes at a crucial time when the Portuguese company is looking to continue its expansion in Southeast Asia. With Indonesia representing the largest archipelago in the world, with the longest coastline in the world, this agreement is not only a renewal of the relationship between EID and PT PAL, which have enjoyed an excellent relationship for over 10 years, but also furthers future opportunities to collaborate.
“With these new ships, we can now count on our systems in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Today’s contract with the Philippine Navy for the production of the systems at PT PAL’s shipyards demonstrates our commitment to continuing to develop solutions that meet the needs of our partners,” said Martin Bennett, Executive President of EID. “We are excited to continue our collaboration with PT PAL and the Indonesian Navy, contributing to the modernization and efficiency of their naval operations.”
