The Logistic Centre Woensdrecht (LCW)  of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and Thales signed an agreement today for the realization of test and repair activities on the radar system of the F16 jets. Thales Nederland will perform these activities using the facilities of the LCW.

For these activities Thales will open a small plant on the air base of Woensdrecht  in the Avionica building which accommodates more industrial partners of the LCW. This agreement follows the Letter of Intent which was signed in 2013 and has an undefined duration.

The procedures and details will be elaborated in a "Concept of Operations." The first activities will take place in January 2015.

Ton Hamelink, Director Advanced Projects at Thales Nederland, is pleased with this agreement: "This fits in perfectly with our ambitions to collaborate with the Royal Netherlands Air Force."

The agreement was signed at the NIDV Symposium an annual event that is organized by the NIDV, the Dutch branch organization for defence and security.
