Curtiss-Wright has been awarded a nearly $49 million contract with Lockheed Martin to produce a turret drive servo system for the British Army‘s new Scout vehicle.
Lockheed will use the turret system to stabilize the weapons on the Scout Reconnaissance vehicle, Curtiss-Wright said Thursday.
“Curtiss-Wright is proud to have been selected by Lockheed Martin to provide our electromechanical aiming and stabilization system,” said David Adams, chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright.
Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division will manufacture the TDSS at its Neuhausen, Switzerland-based facility, with shipments scheduled in 2015 through 2021.
The system will be installed in the turrets at the vehicle’s production facility in Ampthill, U.K.
