Raytheon and India’s Elcome Marine Services have successfully upgraded two Phalanx close-in weapon systems for the Indian Navy.
During the overhaul, both the companies replaced the circuit cards of the weapon systems and performed various maintenance tasks.
Raytheon Missile Systems international business development vice-president Cynthia Davis said the inspection and maintenance of the weapon systems was performed on the navy’s amphibious transport dock INS Jalashwa.
“We are talking with the Indian Navy about upgrading its block 1 systems and acquiring additional Phalanx systems, as well as other Raytheon products to defend India’s fleet and sailors,” she said.
