Today, Henschel control and interior communications systems are on board virtually every ship in the U.S. fleet as well as other naval and commercial vessels around the world. Now, building on these foundations of established excellence in high-reliability engineering and manu- facturi ng, we're setting a new course in shipboard systems technology. By expanding our scope to include a variety of machinery control systems... by applying the latest in microcomputer technology and soft- ware systems...and by adapting new prod- ucts and concepts, like fiber optics, plasma and electroluminescentdisplays. So whether it's improving today's shipboard control systems or planning for ships of the future, you'll always be on the right course with Henschel.
