C-FLEX
C-FLEX Command System
for Patrol Vessels
Terma A/S produces Command
& Control Systems for warships
and patrol vessels. The systems are
balanced in complexity and cost,
depending on the type of ships. Thus,
they range from very small, single
operator systems to large systems of
35+ operators. The Terma command
system for naval ships is named
“C-Flex”.
Terma is currently marketing a
C-Flex configuration which has been
optimized for cost efficient projects.
It is considered the perfect solution C-FLEX Command System is based on the unique T-CORE® Software
for small Patrol Vessels and for Ocean developed by Terma
Patrol Vessels, typically based on one
to three operator consoles.
