Defence technology firm Cobham has been awarded a 39m-dollar contract to manufacture a transmitter-antenna for the US Navy and Marine Corps' electronic warfare aircraft.
The contract is a modification to a previously awarded agreement and will see the US military exercise an option for 48 Low Band Transmitters; 13 vertically polarised antennas; and 28 horizontally polarised antennas.
"Cobham's Low Band Transmitter has a legacy of reliability and operational excellence," said Jill Kale, Vice President of Cobham Sensor Systems. "Activating this option to the fixed price contract is aligned with the Navy's acquisition strategy, and capitalizes on our expertise."
