Another Major Military Contract for SES

Ships Electronic Services (SES), an industry leader in the supply installation and maintenance of maritime electronics, has won a substantial contract from Finmeccanica – Selex ES to supply a comprehensive PA & General Alarm system to each of the four Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Military Afloat Reach & Sustainability (MARS) tankers currently under construction by Daewoo Shipbuilding in South Korea. The contract, which covers a comprehensive integrated PA system, is part of a wide range of communication equipment ordered from Finmeccanica – Selex ES. The MARS communication systems will be similar to that supplied by Finmeccanica – Selex ES to the Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyers. SES also worked on the Type 45 Destroyer project providing the company with invaluable experience in technical military installation requirements which has helped to develop the specific requirements for the MARS vessels. The equipment which will be supplied by SES has been selected as the new Zenitel (Vingtor) EXIGO PA/GA system. EXIGO PA system provides the capabilities of handling all kinds of messages and alarms, sent to the EXIGO system. Alarms can be triggered by external alarm systems, alarm panels and manual MOB switches located around the vessel. The system is broken down into two 19 inch racks each with thirteen 200 watt amplifiers to cover 5 zones over 12 decks. SES and Zenitel have a long history of co-operation in the supply of internal communications systems to the marine industry with recent projects including UK HMS Enterprise and the two recent CalMac Hybrid Ferries built at Ferguson Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow.
