ADF Contract for the OSI Small Craft Warship ECDIS Technology Enhancing Tactical Amphibious Capabilities

• Offering improved intra- and interoperability amongst coalition navies

• A 20-year relationship with the RAN

• An ADF-wide agreement • Enhanced operational capability of the new RHIBs 

February 10, 2023 - As part of an increasing Defence Enterprise Wide License (DEWL) capability with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), OSI is pleased to announce a contract awarded by our Australian Industry Content (AIC) partner to provide Small Craft Warship ECDIS (T-ACT system) and Small Craft RADAR software licenses. 

This Defence wide capability will enhance the operational capability of new RHIBs, including SEA1180 and other future programs. In addition, the software portion of the program provides unlimited licenses for the networked and secure tactical amphibious capability ADF-wide.

“We are very pleased to continue to build a successful enterprise with a premium client such as the RAN,” said Ken Kirkpatrick, President and CEO. “The Small Craft System brings many capability advantages to the fleet and allows the deployment of RHIBs to better perform surveillance to interdiction.”   

These Software Capability licenses will support Small Craft Navigation Situational Awareness between Motherships and Daughter Craft across the ADF, improving intra- and interoperability amongst coalition navies.

“It continues the success of OSI delivering leading naval technology through our AIC partner to the RAN,” said Jim Davison, VP, Business Development. “OSI has been the Fleetwide navigation OEM provider to the RAN for nearly twenty years, and we take pride in bringing valuable capabilities to the Fleet.”
