Elbit Systems of America has secured a $7.3 million firm-fixed price contract from the Defense Logistics Agency to supply grip assembly controllers to the U.S. Army.
The Defense Department said Friday DLA’s land and maritime unit will obligate fiscal 2016 Army working capital funds for work to be performed in Texas through Sept. 30, 2018.
DoD noted the contract contains one base year and a six-month option that the DLA has also exercised at the time of award of the sole-source contract.
The Commander’s Hand Station and controller is designed to drive the rate of movement of the line of sight in the commander’s independent viewer as well as initiate control signals to the turret fire control systems in Bradley M2A3/M3A3 fighting vehicles, according to Elbit Systems of America.
