KONGSBERG signs contract for upgrade of Royal Norwegian Navy’s PROTEUS simulator

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KONGSBERG) has signed a contract with the Norwegaian Defence Logistics Organization (NDLO) for upgrade of the Royal Norwegian Navy’s (RNoN) PROTEUS simulator infrastructure delivered by KONGSBERG.

KONGSBERGs PROTEUS Action Speed Tactical Trainer (PROTEUS - ASTT) provides high fidelity naval tactical training.

The contract scope includes infrastructure upgrades and migration to a common PROTEUS simulation core for all the RNoN’s KONGSBERG delivered simulators, new visual image generation, a generic HLA Evolved interface enabling further simulator participation in joint collaborative exercises and a new PROTEUS map centric instructor station.

The contract has a value of 49 MNOK and will be delivered to the RNoN training establishment KNM Tordenskjold at Haakonsvern naval base in 2016.

“This contract is the result of KONGSBERG’s long and proven relationship with RNoN. NDLO’s decision to further upgrade and improve RNON’s PROTEUS based simulator infrastructure strengthens our position as supplier of simulator systems, and in this context this is a very important reference contract for KONGSBERG”, Executive Vice President Leiv Inge Steig of Kongsberg Defence Systems says.
