Italian electronic warfare (EW) specialist Elettronica has been selected to supply the EW systems for the Angolan Navy’s new BR71 Mk II corvettes that will be supplied by the UAE’s Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB).
The 1 billion euro contract for the ‘fleet’ of corvettes (believed but not confirmed to number three) was announced on 20 February.
Elettronica said the selection of its electronic warfare equipment by Abu Dhabi Ship Building came on the back of previous successful integration programmes between the two companies “and this new collaboration confirms the commitment to keep working together.”
