BAE Systems has helped Formula 1 Team McLaren Mercedes prepare for the 2006 Formula 1 season by improving fuel management in its cars via smoothed particle hydrodynamics.
The low band transmitters will be manufactured at BAE Systems' Lansdale, Pennsylvania, facility.
The low band transmitter antenna group (LBT-A/G) is a radar and communications jammer used to provide protection for strike aircraft, ships and ground troops by disrupting enemy radar and communications signals.
It is one of the transmitter/antenna groups used on the Navy's tactical jamming system.
"We are excited to continue our relationship with the Navy on this project", said Scott Wolf, BAE Systems Programme Manager.
"BAE Systems has a record of benchmark performance with our DoD customers, and extended opportunities on vital programs such as LBT demonstrate our success".
The original LBT Producibility Programme was awarded to BAE Systems in October 2004 for $4 million.
The recently awarded $17.1 million follow-on contract brings the total contract value to $21.1 million.
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is the contracting office within the US Navy responsible for administering the procurement of LBT's.
BAE Systems' electronic attack/electronic surveillance product line, located at Lansdale, is a leading supplier of communications/radar jamming and radar warning/ electronic support measures (ESM) products.
These systems and subsystems are functioning on the total range of tactical aircraft.
