Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine global business development director Jan Hansen said: "This agreement will bring significant value to the customer, specifically by incorporating near, low-level air and surface surveillance capability to our navigation suite, in addition to out-of-the-box compliance with International Maritime Organization requirements.
"We expect our collaborative working relationship with Terma, with its 60 years of experience in the radar business, to bring mutually beneficial opportunities to both of our companies, as well as exciting new capabilities to the end user."
Sperry Marine’s new surveillance mode that was developed for its VisionMaster FT radar family can interface with Terma’s Scanter 6002 surveillance radar, the company stated.
