OTTAWA, Canada; 22 Jan. 2008.OSI Geospatial Inc.'s International Systems Operations has completed an engineering design study to integrate its submarine navigation software into the Astute Class submarine Audacious. The results from this study have led to a prototyping phase that will lead to a production contract from BAE Systems to integrate ECPINS-W software into systems that will be installed initially on Astute boat 4 and one shore base facility.
