DRS Technologies wins $145M contract
DRS Technologies, which has operations in Fitchburg and Hudson, won a $145 million contract to build Driver Vision Enhancer (DVE) A-Kits for frontline U.S. Army vehicles.
Specifically geared towards tactical wheeled and combat vehicles, the DVE helps to increase the driver's capacity, survivability, and mobility in poor conditions during day or night operations. The DVE systems are supporting soldiers engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
DRS received $10 million in initial funding for the project, which includes options for the first and second years of the program for product deliveries through fiscal 2008. DRS won the contract through the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command Acquisition Center in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey.
For this award, DRS will provide DVE A-Kits and cabling. Production will be carried out at DRS' Training and Control Systems unit in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
