“We are excited to strengthen the relationship with the Royal Netherlands Air Force by signing this Partnering Agreement. This PA allows us to use unique rest capacity of Electronic Warfare equipment of the LCW to serve other customers in Europe. This cooperation supports the Air Force goal to lower their costs and allows Terma to expand our service towards other European customers”, said Matthijs de Haan, VP & General Manager Terma B.V.
Terma and LCW have worked together for many years to support the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) fleet, through development and supply of advanced Integrated Self Protection Systems (ISPS) currently operating on almost all RNLAF aircraft, and maintaining this deployed inventory at LCW.
“The strategic partnership will include a further development of our existing Competence Centre for Electronic Warfare and a Regional Support Centre for maintenance, repair, modifications, and overhaul support of military aircraft at Terma’s facility at the LCW premises. Also, we will establish additional maintenance, repair, modifications, and overhaul capabilities for RNLAF weapon system components, in order to improve aircraft availability and affordability” said Matthijs de Haan.
Terma has been one of the first companies to have local presence at LCW on the Woensdrecht Airbase and opened its facilities in 2010. This renewed strategic partnership will bring the cooperation to a next level that will add further value the RNLAF operations.
