In 2020, FNSS delivered 172 PARS III 6×6 and 8×8 vehicles, in 13 different variants, to the Royal Army of Oman, and brought the Integrated Logistics Support capabilities necessary for the maintenance of the vehicles throughout their lifecycle to the end user. In order to advance these capabilities, it has been mutually agreed to provide a Depot Level Maintenance and Repair Facility’ to the Royal Army of Oman, within the scope of the Industry Participation and Offset obligations of the current project. FNSS will carry out the architectural design and construction of the facility and will provide the supply of all necessary machinery and equipment and commissioning within the facility. More over FNSS will be responsible for the establishment of the infrastructure that allows the facility to be expanded within the framework of additional needs.

FNSS will provide on-site inspection and consulting services, and also transfer the technical and managerial knowledge to the Oman Army for the operation of the facility.
