FORT MONMOUTH, N.J. -- Officials at the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) recently chose more than 400 long-life one-watt linear cooler assemblies from DRS Infrared Technologies in Dallas, Texas, for use in the Army's Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI) program.
The cooler assemblies are critical components of the DRS's Standard Advanced Dewar Assembly Type II (SADA II), DRS officials say. SADA II is used in the B-Kit Thermal Imaging Systems, which support HTI. The B-Kit provides infrared imaging capabilities for several ground-based military platforms, including the M1A2 Abrams and M2A3 Bradley vehicles, company officials say.
"The technology we provide for SADA II contributes to the strategic responsiveness, forward engagement, and force projection capabilities of the U.S. Army and is key to missions involving deterrence, force protection, maneuver, and strike," says Mark S. Newman, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of DRS Technologies. "This and other HTI-related programs supported by DRS are central to the Army's modernization strategy and its goal to dominate the expanded battle space of the 21st century."
The $2.6 million order was the result of the exercise of options on an existing multiple-year contract, DRS officials say. This award extends product deliveries through July 2003.
