Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Sypris Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc., announced it has received a follow-on award to support continued production of critical electronic assemblies first announced in 2022. Under the new order, Sypris will manufacture and test electronic assemblies for an additional four systems to be delivered to a U.S. Department of Defense contractor, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2026. Terms of the award were not disclosed.

The modules to be produced by Sypris will be integrated into an electronic warfare improvement program for the U.S. Navy. According to news sources, the upgrade will provide the capability to actively jam incoming missiles that threaten a warship, cue decoys and adapt quickly to evolving threats. The improvements to the electronic attack portion will provide integrated countermeasures against radio frequency-guided threats, according to the U.S. Navy.

The U.S. Naval Institute reported that the system’s capability for non-kinetic electronic attack options can be further deployed in additional critical areas. From advanced communications to multi-role waveforms, the multi-function applications of the system will provide enhanced mission capabilities to the U.S. Navy Fleet while presenting opportunities for future reductions in cost, size, weight, and power.

“We are pleased to receive this award and to continue our strong partnership with this key customer,” said Mike Sedgwick, Vice President & General Manager of Sypris Electronics. “Our team has supported this critical program for many years, beginning with the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase, advancing through Low-Rate Initial Production, and now into Full-Rate Production. We are proud to expand our role on this strategic, long-term program in support of the U.S. Navy.”
