ITT Exelis awarded USD54m contract by Pakistan Air Force

Apr 04, 2012 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) announced on Tuesday that it has been awarded a USD54m Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract to provide the Pakistan Air Force with modern, digital radio frequency memory-based jamming pods.

The company said that the Exelis Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare System (AIDEWS) integrates digital radar warning receivers and advanced jamming countermeasures systems to provide pilots with situational awareness and protection against radar-based threats, including modern surface-to-air and air-to-air weapon systems.

This Exelis contract delivers state-of-the-art self-protection to international allied forces aircraft. The AIDEWS system, which uses identical hardware in its internal and external/pod versions, is now in full production. This contract, an FMS order awarded by Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, enables the pod-mounted variant of AIDEWS to be fully qualified for the F-16 aircraft.

Work under the contract will be performed at the Exelis Electronic Systems division, the company said.

ITT Exelis is a diversified aerospace, defence and information solutions company.
