Putri 500 order Olympus-E and Ferrets

Putri 500 have placed another big order for DDS equipment. In a 1.75 billion zark deal just over a month since their last 1.36 billion zark deal they have ordered 2 Olympus-E carriers and 175 MQ-5BP5 Ferret-G UCVs plus 500 QPM-U rounds for use by the Ferrets. The deal also includes help in setting up drone operations and a maintenance facility on Putri.

Putri had been evaluating 2 Ferret-Gs which were loaned by the DDS, these have now been returned and they are being returned to the DDS by the accompanying Starsystem. No delivery dates have yet been set, these are the first orders for the Olympus-E though the DDS are hoping it will become their best seller.

• In another DDS export success Molab has signed a contract for a 350 million zark upgrade of its fleet of  9 Pentekonter-E patrol boats. The upgrade includes upgrades to the missile launcher to support QPM, passive sensors and a new version of the tactical system plus some other system updates.
