This facility will integrate with the already procured Thales combat management system (CMS) and allow it to receive navigation data in the same way as the five ship sets. It will also provide a test bed for future Anschütz navigation system updates throughout the lifetime of the Type 31 frigates. The system will be delivered alongside the existing Type 31 ship systems managed by Anschuetz UK Ltd.
