FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla., 1 Sept. 2005. Engineers at Keltec, a Crane Company in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., are making plans to repair components of a U.S. Navy system that protects surface warships from missile attack.
Keltec will repair and upgrade components for the Navy AN/SLQ-32 variants 3 through 5, as well as procure spare components as necessary.
The AN/SLQ-32 is an anti-ship missile defense system, which detects and responds to threats aboard Navy aircraft carriers, frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.
Keltec is doing the work under terms of a $6.6 million contract awarded Aug. 31 from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division in Crane, Ind. The contract number is N00164-05-D-8726.
Company engineers will work on the AN/SLQ-32's electronic modules, high-voltage subassemblies, high-voltage power supplies, and high-voltage distribution units.
Keltec supplies low- and high-voltage power supplies, traveling wave tube amplifies, and RF transmitters.
Work will be in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and will be finished by August 2010. For more information contact Keltec online at www.sigtech.com/keltec.
