OSI Maritime Systems (OSI) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TKMS, establishing a collaborative framework to explore opportunities in systems integration and maritime capability development for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).
The CPSP is a Government of Canada procurement initiative launched to replace the Royal Canadian Navy’s (RCN) Victoria-class submarines. The project aims to produce up to twelve submarines to enable sustained operations in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic regions.
Under the terms of the MOU, the Parties intend to establish a framework for technical and commercial dialogue aimed at exploring the integration of OSI’s navigation software, ECPINS, into TKMS’s naval platforms for the purposes of CPSP.
Developed in Canada, ECPINS is the only third-party Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System (WECDIS) solution type approved to NATO STANAG 4564. The software is deployed across eighteen classes of submarines and is currently in service on more than sixty submarines operated by NATO and allied navies worldwide, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Chile, Singapore, Indonesia, South Africa, and Brazil.
