La Barge Receives $1.5 Million Contract from Northrop Grumman
June 11, 2008 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
LaBarge, Inc. has received a $1.5 million contract from Northrop Grumman to continue to produce electronic assemblies for the AN/ALQ-135 radar jammer system. LaBarge has worked on the program since 2005. The company expects to receive follow-on orders.
The AN/ALQ-135 is an internally mounted radar countermeasures system designed for the F-15 Eagle fighter aircraft. The system can automatically detect and jam enemy radar signals such as radar used by short-range surface-to-air missiles, antiaircraft artillery and airborne threats. The jammer is part of the F-15 aircraft's tactical electronic warfare system that can detect, identify and counter threats posed by an enemy. For example, if the warning receiver detects a threat before the radar jammer, the warning receiver will inform the jammer of the threat.
Production on this contract is expected to begin July 2008 and continue through April 2009 at LaBarge's Tulsa, OK facility.
