Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has announced that its subsidiary, Herley Industries, has been awarded a contract by an unnamed US prime contractor for integrated microwave assemblies used on the APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR). The contract was announced 30 April, 2012.
Radar warning receivers are an important part of threat warning systems. The receivers are fitted to a variety of fixed-wing and tilt-wing military aircraft and helicopters to detect radar signals, determine the threat levels, and command countermeasures.
According to Kratos, the award is worth $1.4 million as part of an IDIQ contract. The estimated potential value of the IDIQ contract is more than $12 million through 2015.
The huge amount of open source data available may not carry the weight of secret sources but it does carry substantial value, according to speakers at Defence IQ C4ISR Global conference in London.
