Kongsberg has received a sub contract from Oregon Iron Works (OIW) for the installation of the C4I cortex platform-integration system onboard the combatant-craft-medium-mark one (CCM Mk1) vessel.
Earlier in 2014, the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) had awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to OIW to support the CCM Mk1 special-operations craft programme.
OIW will develop, test, produce, field and sustain a modern, clandestine and operationally capable combatant-craft system.
Work under the contract will be conducted in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, US.

Kongsberg Integrated Tactical Systems president Asmund Groven said: "We look forward to working closely with OIW and the rest of the CCM team to deliver on this contract."
The US Government has issued $17.5m to OIW for test-article refurbishment and the purchase of long-lead items and low-rate initial production units. The maximum potential value of the CCM Mk1 programme is $400m.
If all options are exercised, it will continue until December 2021.
