Dutch navy bucks the Western trend in its retention of CMS design and development
Article Abstract:
The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) is retaining its in-house centre for combat management system (CMS) development by refusing the Western trend. The Centre for the Automation of Mission-critical Systems (CAMS-Force Vision) combines operational know-how and information technology expertise, provides through-life support and represents real value for money and it is responsible for the architecture design, development and production of the combat management systems for all classes of surface combatants.
