WASHINGTON, 17 July 2007. U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington awarded EDO Communications & Countermeasures Systems (EDO CCS) in Thousand Oaks, Calif., a $209.9 million contract modification to build 3,000 vehicle-mounted counter radio-controlled improvised explosive device (RCIED) electronic warfare (CREW) systems for use in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Vehicle-mounted CREW systems are one element of the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare program. Spiral 2.1 CREW systems are vehicle-mounted electronic jammers designed to prevent the initiation of RCIEDs. Typically the system consists of a series of components that are installed on military vehicles. The jammers can be programmed to address different threats, depending upon where the systems are being operated.
Five systems were selected in September 2006 for a rapid test and evaluation program. These systems were mature enough to enter the test program with potential to go into rapid production, and also met a few other important criteria.
Work will be in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and Lancaster, Calif., and will be finished by next August.
