Forcys has appointed Captain Christian Haugen, USN (Ret.), to lead business development efforts in the United States to support the development of autonomous and remotely operated platforms to deliver enhanced mission capability, increased capacity, and improved lethality.
Backed by over fifty years of experience, Forcys offers the global maritime naval sector remote, autonomous, and networked control capabilities delivering integrated situational awareness to customers in the underwater domain.
Commenting on Christian Haugen’s appointment, Ioseba Tena, Commercial Director of Forcys, said: “The United States has led the development and introduction into service of uncrewed underwater and surface vehicles over the last two decades. Their efforts have benefited all of us. They achieved this by working closely with industry and selecting best-of-breed capability. We want to play our part and Chris’ appointment is part of a long-term commitment to develop solutions that will accelerate the introduction of more effective systems.”
“I am really looking forward to engaging with our existing customer base and eager to explore ways in which we may continue to add value,” said Christian Haugen, Business Development Manager for North America. “Beyond that, I am keen to explore ways in which we can closely integrate solutions from our technology partners to develop innovative capability to enhance the situational awareness and effectiveness of the Navy’s fleet of unmanned systems.”
Covering a range of maritime operations including asset protection, littoral strike, mine warfare, submarine rescue, and submarine and anti-submarine warfare, Forcys seeks to transform the underwater domain by enabling increasingly distributed and automated operations. This is made possible by integrating and bringing to market solutions from technology partners such as Chelsea Technologies, EIVA, Sonardyne, Voyis, and Wavefront Systems.
Forcys will be supporting its technology partner, Sonardyne Inc, at Sea-Air-Space 2023 in National Harbor, Maryland. Get in tough with Forcys to arrange a meeting.
