COSYS has had 6 sales recently to the Malaysians, with another 21 (!!!) in the offing. BTW, to lurkers, I once worked with HSA - Hollandse Signaal Apparaten, before it got eaten by the French Thomson group and had its name changed to Thales http://www.signaal.thomson-csf.com/ now http://www.thales-nederland.nl/. TACTICOS is mentioned at http://www.thales-nederland.nl/thales_naval_nederland/html/combat_manage ment.html Later, I worked with STN-Atlas, http://www.stnatlas.com/sae/eHauptframe.htm formerly Krupp-Atlas, which then got sold to Bremer-Vulkan Shipyards, then Deutsche Aerospace, then Rheinmetall, and is now mostly owned by British Aerospace I think.
