EDO Corporation has been selected by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems to provide its ALR-95 tactical radar Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and surveillance system for eight P-3 aircraft being procured by the Republic of Korea Navy. The contract is valued at more than $10 million with deliveries beginning in early 2007.
The ALR-95 is a state-of-the-art maritime-patrol ESM system that enhances the aircraft's survivability by detecting, identifying, and locating hostile radar signals early and efficiently. With this information, the aircrew is able to react to the threat.
"Early, accurate threat identification is essential for an effective defensive response," said James M. Smith, EDO's chief executive officer. "The selection of EDO's ALR-95 system for the Korean program underscores our strong position in providing airborne ESM systems for the P-3 community."
The P-3, first put into service in the early 1960s, continues to be the primary maritime patrol aircraft not only for the U.S. Navy but also for many international armed forces. The ALR-95 is currently operational on U.S. Navy P-3 Anti-submarine Improvement Program, or AIP, aircraft.
