September 26, 2019 - SkyView has been selected by the Swiss Federal Office for Defence Procurement (armasuisse) to upgrade the country's FLORAKO air surveillance system, which provides 24/7 surveillance and protection of national airspace, territory and populations. SkyView correlates civil and military data in real time, providing a better overall picture of national airspace and allowing faster decisions to be made. It also enables operators to conduct air policing operations and detect and respond to all types of airborne threats. SkyView is the culmination of 50 years of experience in air operations and has been deployed at over 80 command and control centres in more than 30 countries. It processes data from over 600 radars and interconnects with external systems via more than 60 types of interfaces. The product is co-developed with users according to a roadmap that reflects their exact requirements. “I would like to thank armasuisse for its continued trust in us for a project that is vital to Switzerland's national sovereignty. SkyView 4.0 is an all-digital system incorporating the latest Big Data and artificial intelligence technologies, and will provide the Swiss Air Force with a highly capable solution for airspace surveillance and air command and control.” Thomas Got, Thales Vice President in charge of Air Operations and Weapon Systems https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/group/press-release/switzerland-selects-thales-national-airspace-surveillance-and-protection

By DAVE RESS NOV 23, 2020 AT 6:54 PM Newport News Shipbuilding won a $2.2 billion contract to build six module sections for each of the Navy's first two Columbia-class submarines. The contract was awarded by General Dynamics' Electric Boat division, which has worked in a partnership with Newport News building nuclear subs for the Navy for several years. Newport News is to deliver the completed modules to Electric Boat, which is responsible for final assembly of the boats, beginning in November 2022. The last module delivery is to occur by January 2028. Newport News is a major contractor and shipbuilding partner in the Columbia-class program. The shipyard began advance construction work on the first boat in May 2019, under contract to Electric Boat. The Columbia class will replace the fleet of Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines. The lead ship is scheduled to be delivered in 2027. “This contract continues NNS' longstanding and strong commitment to the Navy's undersea enterprise through the design and construction of major modules and assemblies necessary to achieve program objectives,” said Charles Southall, Newport News' vice president of Columbia-class Submarine Construction. The Navy has said it expects the 12 submarines will cost $109 billion. The shipyard, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, will handle about 22% of construction. To keep the Columbia program on track, Newport News is picking up a larger portion of the work it has long shared with Electric Boat on Virginia class submarines.
