DRS Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: DRS) announced today that it received
a $22.3 million contract from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command
(NAVSEA) to design, produce and deliver Repair Station Console
(RSC) systems for the DDG Modernization Backfit program. The
development and installation of these systems will automate and
integrate shipboard damage control communications which increase
the survivability of battle-damaged ships.
The RSC systems, installed on U.S. Navy Surface combatant ships,
will communicate over the shipboard Gigabit Ethernet Data Multiplex
System (GEDMS) network. Each system will support modernization
damage control software applications as well as the requirements
for the DDG in-service Fleet and First Article Test (FAT). DRS will
qualify the hardware and provide all technical support
services.
"In the Global War on Terror (GWOT) it is critical that the U.S.
Navy have the necessary upgrades to modernize ships and extend the
life of the existing fleet," said Richard S. Danforth, president of
DRS's Command, Control and Communications (C3) strategic business
unit. "DRS has provided support for the DDG platform over the last
several decades and is pleased to offer this new system to the Navy
that will increase ship survivability."
The Indefinite Delivery /Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract
calls for a potential delivery of 20 ship sets that will be
installed as part of the Machinery Control System (MCS). In
addition, DRS will provide up to 10 training sets for the Land
Based Engineering Site (LBES) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
production of these systems will take place at DRS's C3 Systems
Strategic Business Unit (SBU) manufacturing facility in Johnstown,
Pennsylvania. The first ship sets are scheduled to be delivered
January 2010.
