The Defence Equipment and SupportĀ (DE&S) Mine Hunting Capability (MHC) Team has awarded ATLAS ELEKTRONIK UK a contract to deliver an additional ARCIMS uncrewed minehunting system for the U.K. Royal Navy.

ā€œI am delighted in the Royal Navy’s decision to make further investments into the capability offered by ARCIMS, which have been delivered and supported under the U.K. Sweep and Wilton projects,ā€ said Wes Galliver, Head of Surface Ship Systems Division. ā€œThe flexibility of the platform to deliver across the mine countermeasures domain once again allows us to showcase the deployment of both our own payloads and those of third parties.ā€

The platform will be delivered to the Royal Navy by late 2022 and deployed for Operational Evaluation in early 2023.
