Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has announced the company has won a new contract with an Asian nation to provide comprehensive maintenance support services for operational systems employed by its navy.
The multi-year agreement is estimated at $30 million and will include maintenance services for the navy's Typhoon and Mini-Typhoon remotely controlled naval weapon stations (RCWS), Naval SPIKE ER and NLOS missile systems, EO surveillance systems, and EW Integrated Decoy Systems (IDS).
The services will bolster the technological and operational cooperation between Rafael and the user and establish maintenance capabilities for additional systems.
“Rafael, as a developer and manufacturer of combat-proven naval systems, has developed extensive knowhow and accumulated experience in executing major naval projects with clients in Israel and worldwide. We will manage and conduct the maintenance services for the Navy in the most effective manner and in a way that will ensure the highest degree of operational capability," said Ran Tavor, Vice President and Head of Rafael's Naval Warfare Systems.
"This agreement is part of Rafael’s strategy to increase activity in the field of maintenance and customer support for its customers in Israel and globally. Through this latest project the knowhow shared between Rafael and its partners will continue to be enriched and will contribute to more optimized and greater capabilities down the road.”
In March 2023, Rafael announced it had signed a multi-year agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defence to provide maintenance support services for dozens of Typhoon RCWS in operational use by the Israeli Navy.
The company has also recently won a major contract with another leading Asian navy for Typhoon Mk30-c and mini–Typhoon RCWS, recently commissioned onboard FAIC-M/SHALDAG MK5 vessels in the Philippine navy as part of a complete Rafael combat suite.
