News Story: OSI wins Australian navy software upgrade contract


CANBERRA, Australia, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- OSI Maritime Systems of Canada has signed a three-year contract to support and upgrade its situational and navigational awareness software for Australia's warships and submarines.

The Vancouver company said the navy is using its ECPINS -- Electronic Chart Precise Integrated Navigation System -- software for surface ships and its ECPINS-W Sub software for submarines.

OSI said its ECPINS software is approved by the International Maritime Organization and independently certified against NATO WECDIS STANAG 4564 standard for warship electronic chart and information display systems.

The contract win comes after OSI announced in May it is supplying the Australian navy with its advanced command, control and situational awareness system for the navy's Amphibious Task Group.
