Griffon Corporation's Telephonics subsidiary has received a $64.6 million order from Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego for AN/APS-147 Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Interrogator Systems developed and manufactured for the US Navy's MH-60R multi-mission helicopters. The AN/APS-147 provides the MH-60R and its host ship littoral and maritime domain awareness.
Telephonics Radar Systems Division's contract, part of a previously reported multi-year agreement, covers completion of the contract's Lot 6 systems, long-lead procurement for Lot 7 production, and a number of spare components.
"The AN/APS-147 MMR is an outstanding system that will bring unprecedented mission performance and brand new capabilities to the US Navy's rotary wing community," said Joseph J. Battaglia, President of Telephonics.
