As military vessels become even more complex it becomes critical that integrated systems work under the strictest of conditions and are proven and extremely reliable. Servowatch, a leading UK supplier of advanced integrated ship control systems, is supplying its Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) to the initial three River-class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) built by BAE Systems Naval Ships for the UK Royal Navy. It has also secured a second contract for the supply of its IPMS systems to TAMAR and
SPEY, a further two vessels announced by the Government in the Strategic Defence and Security Review in November 2015.
