By GlobalDataThe combination of Saab’s knowledge from the autonomous underwater vehicle / remotely operated vehicle (AUV/ROV) market and NDI’s mine disposal solutions will create a new MCM house within the former.
NDI owner and managing director Jess Otzen said: “After more than 20 successful years in the defence industry, with the challenges inherent from being a small stand-alone defence company, I am pleased to see new and exciting possibilities arise for NDI from the upcoming integration with Saab.”
NDI’s DAMDIC is a mine disposal charge, which will be carried to the mine by a remotely operated vehicle, such as Saab’s Double Eagle.
