Private and public development efforts. Status. ECA is producing systems for clients. Malaysia was the first customer for the OLISTER. Total Produced. Approximately 721 PAP and 626 K-ster units had been produced by the end of 2018. The manufacturer states that the PAP is used by 20 navies worldwide. The PAP Mk 1 version entered production in 1968. ECA said it has sold over 300 K-ster units since 2007. Application. The PAP is used for the detection, identification, and destruction of both moored and tethered sea mines. Price Range. Based on prices of comparable systems, a PAP unit price of between $750,000 and $1 million is estimated. This is, however, in stark contrast with the announced contract in November 1997 for 24 modification kits for the French Navy, valued at the equivalent of $2.4 million each. The A-18 has a price range of EUR1.5 million to EUR5 million depending on options and equipped sensors.
