Sypris Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc., announced that it has recently received additional releases under a multi-year production contract that was first announced in 2022. The order, which provides for Sypris to begin deliveries in 2023, calls for the manufacture and test of electronic assemblies for an additional four systems to be supplied to a U.S. DOD contractor. 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 these additional releases under our long-term contract with this important customer,” said Mark R. Kane, Vice President & General Manager of Sypris Electronics. “We have provided manufacturing and engineering services for this critical program for years, originating with the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase, before transitioning into Low-Rate Initial Production and more recently into Full-Rate Production. We are certainly proud to increase our support for this strategic, long-term program of the U.S. Navy.”

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Mechatronics—The Swiss Army Knife of Engineering
07/23/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonMany folks in my age group raised on a farm always carried a pocket knife. My choice was a Swiss Army Knife. It was a versatile, multi-functional pocketknife manufactured by Victorinox and Wenger and is renowned for its compact design. What was nice about the Swiss Army Knife was the array of tools that fold out from its handles. Whatever job you need to accomplish, the Swiss Army knife can handle it.
