PORTFOLIO

NAMC is a modern Windows based ACP 127 messaging system provided on robust and resistant hardware architecture and using a graphical user interface. NAMC has replaced the current AMHA and DIMPS Royal Navy messaging systems.

Operational Benefits
The Naval Afloat Messaging Coherency (NAMC) Programme seeks to improve operational capability of the major RN Surface Platforms in service after 2007 by the introduction of a new Message Handling System. This will enable the removal from service of a number of legacy systems that are increasingly costly to support and close to obsolescence.

NAMC provides a modern and resilient Windows based infrastructure upon which future Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software upgrades can be easily achieved.

The NAMC programme is managed by the DE&S DII IPT.
