The project was challenging, with rigorous technical requirements and short lead times. IGT delivered high quality, fully tested units ahead of time and is consequently well regarded by NGSM for future work. The next ship in the Astute fleet will be named Agamemnon, the fifth ship to carry that name in a proud tradition that stretches back to the battle of Trafalgar.
The defence industry is a key market sector where IGT’s 23 years of experience in design, technology and manufacturing is in great demand with a number of major military projects for customers throughout Europe currently at different stages in the product development cycle.
