DRS to supply JTT-Rs for US, Australian Growlers
DRS Technologies will deliver up to 180 Joint Tactical Terminal-Receivers (JTT-R) for US Navy and Australian EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft, the company announced on 22 January.
The company won an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract worth up to $12 million, which will include JTT-R production engineering, test set racks, fixtures and tooling.
The JTT-R is an ultra-high-frequency receiver that provides near real-time, over-the-horizon threat data for situational awareness and assessment, threat avoidance, targeting, mission planning and communications.
The contract combines purchases for the navy and the government of Australia, under the foreign military sales programme. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, in Indiana is the contracting agency.
DRS has been developing the JTT-R system since 2009 for the navy's E/A-18G Growler as a replacement to the legacy multi-mission advanced tactical terminal, which is nearing its end-of-life with the impending transition to the common interactive broadcast waveform.
