MCKINNEY, Tex., -- Raytheon Company has received a $53 million U.S. Army contract for Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI) second-generation Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) B-Kits for fiscal year 02 through fiscal year 03 full-rate production.
The multiyear fixed firm-price contract contains options for first- and second-year quantities for HTI B-Kits as well as an optional third year. Work will be performed by Raytheon's Tactical Systems business unit in McKinney, Texas.
The second-generation FLIR allows improved detection and engagement of tanks and other heavy armored vehicles at significantly greater stand-off ranges over first-generation FLIR systems. It is used on platforms such as the new M1 Abrams, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the HMMWV.
The U.S. Army awarded the majority share of B-Kit production to Raytheon under a competitive procurement. The contracting customer is the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) in Ft. Monmouth, N.J., and the Night Vision /Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (NV/RSTA), Ft. Belvoir, Va.
