Dit is het verslag van een onderzoek naar de identiteit van Thales Hengelo, Thales maakt momenteel alleen de consoles, en levert deze dan af bij de en hoe deze kan worden toegepast op de consoles en de kabinetten van klant, met een globaal voorstel voor de inrichting. Randvoorwaarden zoals Thales. Het probleem was dat Thales de afgelopen tijd steeds meer COTS globale verlichting, ruimte om te passeren en “meekijkbaarheid” worden apparatuur (Commercial Of The Shelf) ging inkopen en steeds minder zelf daarbij vaak niet duidelijk genoeg doorgezet. Een belangrijke conclusie ging maken. Vooral de kabinetten hadden daar onder te lijden omdat zij in was dat de stoel, het enige instelbare onderdeel van de console installatie, hun geheel worden ingekocht en daarna ook nog eens worden volgestopt niet door Thales besteld werd. Vaak had Thales zelfs geen idee welke met voornamelijk COTS apparatuur. De vraag was hoe hier mee stoelen er precies gebruikt zouden worden. Dit is door mij bezien als een omgegaan moest worden om de kabinetten toch “typisch Thales” te gemiste kans, omdat de stoel nog veel ruimte heeft voor uitbreiding zoals maken.

  • Navy News Week 48-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 48-1 3 December 2017 Indian court acquits 35 from anti-piracy ship of weapons charges Crew members of U.S.-operated anti-piracy ship were being held in India for illegal possession of arms Thirty-five men being held in India were on Monday acquitted of illegal possession of arms while they were on a U.S.- operated anti-piracy ship in 2013. The six Britons, three Ukrainians, 14 Estonians and 12 Indians were given five-year jail sentences by a lower court in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state in January last year. The Indian coast guard intercepted the privately run MV Seaman Guard Ohio off the coast of Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu in October 2013. Semi-automatic weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition were found. The crew members were charged with not having proper paperwork to carry weapons in Indian waters, but India has faced intense diplomatic pressure over the case ever since. R. Subramaniya Adityan, a lawyer for 19 of the crew, said after Monday’s hearing at the Madras High Court that the men “will be released after the court order reaches the prison officials on Tuesday.” Another lawyer, R. Arumuga Ram, said that efforts were being made to get the men released as early as Monday night. “Otherwise, (we) will ensure to release all of them by 6 a.m. tomorrow,” he added. Indian authorities are still able to appeal, which could prevent the foreigners from leaving India. Twenty-three of the men are detained in Chennai’s Puzhal prison, while the remaining 12 are at Palayamkottai Central Prison in Tirunelveli.
