Earlier today, Arotech reported a
$6.7 task order from the Space and Naval Warfare Center (SPAWAR) Atlantic. The
contract came through its North American Power System Division, which includes
UEC Electronics.
The contract awarded is for the
manufacture and integration of 12 Communication Emitter Sensing and Attacking
System (CESAS) II Platform Integration Kits (PIK). The CESAS is the Marine
Corps’ only high-power, ground-mobile electronic attack (EA) asset. The CESAS
provides Commanders with the capability to detect, deny, and disrupt the
communications of their enemy.
“UEC Electronics has been supporting
the SPAWAR Intelligence group for more than 10 years and is pleased with the
most recent contract award,” said Mark Matthews, CEO of UEC Electronics. “The
DoD is focused on cost savings. Our automated manufacturing processes, coupled
with our history of quality products and on-time delivery, make us an ideal
provider for this type of mission critical system.”
Arotech received this award
following the successful completion of a prototype test of the CESAS II PIK,
which performed exceptionally well during U.S. Government-led performance and
environmental testing.
Arotech expects to complete this
production contract in the next 12 months. The government has an option which,
if exercised, will result in a second year of support for the program.
Steven Esses, President and CEO of
Arotech, commented, “The award of this contract is a testament to our team and
performance of our product. We are excited about the initial opportunity and
are optimistic that this award could lead to the procurement of additional
units in the future.”
