The UK’s six type 45 destroyers, worth £1bn each, include HMS Daring and sister ships Dauntless, Diamond, Dragon, Defender and Duncan.
The destroyers, which are capable of protecting the nation from air attacks using their Sea Viper missiles, have been designed to replace the type 42 frigates, which are currently in service and have been deployed by the navy since the mid-1970s.
Designed to boost the UK’s naval air defence capabilities over the next 30 years, they will support missions including anti-piracy and anti-smuggling activities, disaster relief work and surveillance operations, and high-intensity fighting.
OSI has also received a contract from the Royal Canadian Navy to update and offer in-service support for the software used across their warship and submarine fleet.
