EMS Technologies to provide beam-management components for ground radar system
EMS Defense & Space, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc., continues its position as a solutions leader in providing beam-management capabilities for global radar systems today with the latest award from an Asian radar customer to provide the phase-control elements within the phased array antennas for the customer's large S-band-based ground radar system.
As part of a $2.8 million, one-year contract, EMS D&S will provide volume quantities of high-accuracy phase shifters that are integral to the customer's radar-based ground defense infrastructure to assure its defensive readiness capabilities.
"EMS D&S has been a trusted supplier for this specific customer's ground radar program for the past 15 years. This latest award is a continuation of an existing design and reflects our customer's confidence in EMS as a manufacturer of highly reliable technology that can withstand very harsh environments," said Norm Johnson, vice president, Business Development for EMS D&S. "This award leverages our high-volume manufacturing capabilities for providing large quantities of hardware within an aggressive schedule. It also confirms our confidence in the high reliability of our phase shifters once deployed on the radar."
EMS D&S has provided more than 14,000 phase shifters to date. The company expects new product deliveries to begin in 2011.
