Thales acquires IMARCS

Issue No. 12 | June 16-30, 2014

Thales has expanded its product portfolio by acquiring the Integrated Maritime Coordination and Surveillance System (IMARCS) from Austal.

IMARCS is a maritime command and control system which integrates Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), GPS and radar into a single picture of the operational environment. This situational awareness picture can be shared end to end – from small boat to patrol vessel to headquarters in a single, real time network.

The acquisition also signifies a closer working relationship between Thales and Austal for the delivery of the Australian Customs Cape class patrol boats programme, and subsequent synergies regarding the Royal Australian Navy’s Armidale class patrol boat fleet and their replacements.
