This contract is a confirmation of the excellent
relation Thales enjoys with the Sultanate of Oman. It reinforces Thales’
presence in the Middle East. Furthermore it adds a new shipyard to the
long list of international Naval shipbuilders that Thales works with
worldwide, thus widening the scope as a yard-independent Naval system
supplier.
