Boeing contracts Ducommun for resolvers
Boeing has awarded a multi-year contract to Ducommun to supply resolvers for the navigation system used on US Navy and Royal Navy submarines, the company announced on 13 October.
The resolvers are position sensors that are used on the electrostatically supported gyro navigator, called Trident, used by US Ohio-class and UK Vanguard-class submarines.
Ducommun will manufacture the resolvers through 2017.
Anthony Reardon, chairman and chief executive officer, Ducommun, said: ‘We designed and manufactured the original sensors in the early years of Polaris and Poseidon submarines, so we’re particularly pleased to continue to provide these motion control devices for the navy’s Trident nuclear submarine fleet.
‘This work builds upon our relationship with both Boeing and the US Navy, reflecting the reliability of our technology in position sensing and Ducommun’s efforts to continue to grow our military market presence.’
