This will enhance the Type 45's navigation capability, which currently uses a mix of paper charts and an Electronic Charting System, commonly used on commercial shipping. The new WECDIS system will remove the need for paper charts and includes additional warfighting command and control functionality.<br><br>The programme will ensure the system and training arrangements comply with the latest international standards, which were defined after the T45 build contract was awarded.<br><br>The rollout of WECDIS on the six T45s is scheduled to take place from early 2016, subject to the ships' operational programme, and is expected to cost £5.6 Million for all six platforms. This covers the cost of development, acceptance, testing and trials, platform rollout and user training.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 07/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
