BAE Systems has secured a $15 million contract from the USN to deliver its advanced digital interrogator for maritime vessels, enhancing situational awareness and reducing friendly fire incidents.
BAE Systems will supply its next-generation AN/UPX-50(C) digital interrogator for USN ships under a $15 million contract to help prevent friendly fire incidents.
The AN/UPX-50(C) interrogator will provide time-critical insights that reduce friendly fire incidents and support mission success in hostile environments.
It will provide a common modular design and open system architecture. Its design enables the rapid integration of new technology within the existing footprint through software updates instead of hardware configuration.
