The Royal Netherlands Navy Takes Delivery of a Mission Planning & Analysis System in Full Operative Configuration for the NH90 NFH Fleet
AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica company, is pleased to announce that the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) has taken delivery of a Mission Planning & Analysis System (MPAS) in the Final Operative Configuration for its fleet of NH90 NFH medium twin naval helicopters.
This delivery of MPAS follows the one released into service in 2011 and it is aimed at both supporting new aircraft functionalities and implementing enhancements based on operational feedback from more than one year of RNLN in service experience.
The system delivery to the Navy was achieved after successful execution of the Acceptance Tests and Operational Verifications, initially at the AgustaWestland Helicopter Support Systems facility in Sesto Calende and then at the De Kooy Naval Base in the Netherlands.
The RNLN MPAS is based on the state of the art AgustaWestland designed Skyflight Planning System, a multi-helicopter flight and mission planning solution core to all variants of AgustaWestland’s mission planning stations.
The delivered final configuration is now fully supporting the RNLN’s operations by providing the users with the means for complex mission planning including sonic,
auto-protection and surveillance systems as well as a complete aircraft data upload/download capability and post mission analysis.
