Mr. Kirkpatrick continued, “More than 22 NATO and Allied navies operate using OSI integrated navigation and tactical solutions. As a result of choosing OSI to be their integrated bridge system provider, t he Polish Navy has advanced its navigation commonality and standard to a level that is on par with many other NATO and Allied navies. The use of OSI’s INTS will also significantly increase the Polish Navy’s interoperability in NATO MCM operations since many similar platforms use OSI solutions.”
