Location: Hengelo, Netherlands
Senior Software Test Engineer
About the team
We make a hardware and software solution called the TACTICOS Combat Management System. TACTICOS can be considered the brain onboard naval
vessels, ranging from frigates, destroyers and small patrol crafts. The information from sensors (radar, sonar for example) is collected within TACTICOS,
which then provides an overview of all that’s happening around the ship allowing operators to get a good situational awareness and to respond as needed
with connected effectors (weapons or electronic counter measures for example). Missions on board these vessels range from humanitarian assistance
during earthquakes, combatting piracy and drug smuggling, military engagements and more. TACTICOS technology is used on board more than 160 ships
operated by 25 navies worldwide. Learn more about TACTICOS here: www.thalesgroup.com/en/tacticos-combat-management-system.
