Software Test Engineer
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Our Above Water Warfare Fire Control System (AWW-FCS) enables protection of ships and other units from above-water threats. These threats are becoming faster, smarter and more complex. And a Fire Control System combines the radar and the intelligent algorithm which is designed to assist a ranged weapon system in targeting, tracking and hitting its target.
Specifically, we develop software that connects Thales' next-generation radar suite with the actual Firing Systems on marine ships. The AWW-FCS system provides the necessary information to Defense Operators to make the right decision within seconds.
