ITT Corporation was awarded a contract from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command to produce 425 Band C systems and their related spares and equipment for $16.7 million.
Band C is an upgrade for the U.S. military“™s installed base of vehicle-mounted systems that prevent the detonation of radio-controlled improvised explosive devices.
“As threats evolve, our technologies must keep pace,“ said Chris Bernhardt, president of ITT“™s electronic systems business. “Our Band C systems are critical technology upgrades designed to respond to more threats and give our forces enhanced capabilities to perform their missions more safely.“
The CVRJ and Band C programs are fulfilling an urgent Department of Defense requirement for an increased system production in order to prevent the detonation of radio controlled IEDS. Soldiers currently deployed on military operations use the counter-IED devices.
