Ottawa, Canada - OSI Geospatial Inc. (TSX: OSI) ("OSI Geospatial") announced today that, after successful sea trials, the first Vanguard Class SSBN has been approved to navigate digitally. As part of the Lockheed Martin UK WECDIS team, OSI Geospatial is the software supplier, and this milestone achievement clearly indicates the confidence that the Royal Navy places in the accurracy, reliability and improvement of operational capability that ECPINS® W (Sub) software gives the user.
"This significant event in the RN WECDIS program follows on from our recent announcement of the selection of ECPINS W (Sub) for the Astute program in the UK, which represents yet another example of the maturity and flexibility of our software for the submarine market," said Ken Kirkpatrick, President and CEO. "The Vanguard Class submarine is now the second submarine to be fitted with WECDIS and achieving the highly-acclaimed status as a digital navigation platform. With more than 400 ships and submarines now fitted with our solutions and 14 NATO and Allied Naval customers, OSI Geospatial has the widest operational military install base."
