Computervision Corporation announced that Vickers

Shipbuilding and Engineering (VSEL), a leading U.K. ship- builder, has moved forward with its Electronic Product Definition implementation, acquiring soft- ware valued at $1.82 million from

Computervision.

Computervision's software will be used to help design, build and support VSEL's future products.

VSEL is recognized in the ship- building industry for its

Electronic Product Definition (EPD) strategy. EPD is a tool for reducing costs and time to market in complex multi-part assemblies.

Using EPD, VSEL will electroni- cally define and analyze its ships, submarines and armament prod- ucts in computer software prior to manufacture. The data will then be used to support products throughout their life cycles, ensuring improved levels of quali- ty. The contract involves

Computervision's CADDS' 5 total product modeling software, and

Optegra enterprise data manage- ment software, Optegra Explorer and Concurrent Assembly Mock-

Up (CAMU).

MX 400: Leica's Newest DGPS Professional Navigator

The difference between disaster and rescue is measured in seconds.

No wonder the Coast Guard depends on Leica GPS. wnen a distress signal comes in, the U.S. Coast Guard has to act.

Immediately. Which is exactly why more than 500 Coast Guard vessels rely on Leica GPS.

Easy to use, with crisp, clear scrccns, simultaneous information features, and virtually instanta- neous updates, the MX400, Leica's newest GPS navigator, continues to build upon the Leica reputation of reliability and accuracy with a variety of advancements: • Integrated Auto-Tune

Beacon Receiver • Waterproof (MIL-STD 108E Proc 4.10) • All-Condition, High-Resolution

Display (128 x 240) • GO TO Function Key • Dual Station Capability • Lat/Lon, Loran-C, Decca, and UTM Coordinates • Tide Calculations

Just like the Coast Guard, you can always count on Leica GPS.
