13:56 GMT, March 29, 2012 New Delhi | SELEX Galileo has signed a contract with the Indian Navy to provide support and service solutions through to 2022 worth £21 million (€25 million). The agreement will see SELEX Galileo supporting the avionics facility at the Centre for Avionics Repair and Software Development (CARES) at India’s Naval Aircraft Yard at Kochi. In addition to support, the deal will see the Company carry out a comprehensive update of the CARES facility to meet future test requirements.
“The CARES facility is seen as a benchmark repair facility within the Indian Navy, and we’re proud to be behind this success” said Alastair Morrison, SVP Radar & Advanced Targeting for SELEX Galileo, adding “To carry out this new contract we’ll be working with Indian suppliers to develop Test Program Sets (TPS) for the upgrade and will be transferring technical expertise to Indian Navy personnel. It’s all part of our strategy to partner with India in the long term.”
The contract includes knowledge transfer packages that will train Indian Navy personnel in activities including repair techniques, avionics and test equipment technologies.
The contract follows on from SELEX Galileo's previous agreement with the Indian Navy which saw the Company supporting the CARES facility from its opening in 2001. Since then, the CARES facility has been expanded to provide support for a whole range of Indian Navy aircraft.
With SELEX Galileo Private Indian Limited, SELEX Galileo has expanded its footprint in India that builds on a longstanding industrial collaboration with local companies.
