In the context of the implementation of the European Union Command and Control Information System (EUCCIS) by SELEX Sistemi Integrat, a Finmeccanica Company, for the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union, acceptance of Increment 1 of EUCCIS contract was issued. Within the contract, the Italian Company provides the development, supply, installation of a Command and Control Information System, including the provision of related support, training and maintenance services to enhance the European Union's ability to plan, deploy and execute military as well as civilian operations under EU-led undertakings.
