Among the defence product companies at the DSEI 17 show in London next month, Cohort plc will show its four business units that cover the land, sea and air sectors. Portugal-based EID will be a part for the first time after the company’s acquisition last year.
Cohort Chief Executive Andy Thomis said: “We have a growing order book in our domestic markets and worldwide. DSEi offers an excellent opportunity to demonstrate our new technologies and capabilities. Alongside products and services in the established domains, we will also be focusing on our latest work in sectors such as cyber.”
EID’s focus will be on integrated communications and control systems for naval and land applications, including its ICCS, Integrated Communications Control System for warships, as well as ICC-201 and ICC-251 vehicular intercoms for heavy and light configurations respectively, plus its TWH-100 series personal radios, in use by several armed forces.

Its training offering includes design and delivery of operational level exercises, where it has experience in supporting UK and NATO forces, plus overseas customers. Another developing area for MASS is secure information systems and the move from management dashboards to management cockpits.
