BEAVERTON, Ore., 30 Sept. 2009. Tektronix Inc., a worldwide provider of test, measurement, and monitoring instrumentation, won a contract award to supply Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes (DPOs) to the U.S. Navy. The $10.75 million contract has a Best Estimated Quantity (BEQ) of 5000 units over a five-year period.
The Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP), the Navy's primary equipment purchasing and inventorying agent for the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), will use the Tektronix 100-MHz, 2-channel TDS3012C oscilloscopes for its General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE) program.
The TDS3000C oscilloscopes will be used to support a variety of Navy electronics systems, including radar, communications, and navigation. In addition, the instruments will be used to support various Navy training programs and be a part of its metrology labs to assist with calibration and equipment repairs.
The NAVICP selected Tektronix for its affordability. The TDS3000C Series provides the performance to visualize fast-changing signals in a compact, battery-capable design, explains a representative. The TDS3000C Series is easy to use so less time is spent re-learning how to use the oscilloscope. Users throughout the U.S. Navy will be able to conduct required, complex measurements with the Tektronix TDS3012C DPO oscilloscopes.
"Tektronix has a long and trusted relationship with the U.S. Navy, and this contract win is an important validation to our continued focus of developing best-in-class, affordable solutions to help customers stay ahead in their industries," says Amir Aghdaei, president, Tektronix. "Thanks to a forward-looking design and loyal following, Tektronix is proud to say that the TDS3000C Series is one of the most popular oscilloscope families in the industry."
