Goodrich awarded US Army contract for Laser Warning Systems
Goodrich Corporation has been awarded a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the US Army for an anticipated maximum value of $47 million for the procurement of additional AN/AVR-2A(V) Laser Warning System components. The AN/AVR-2A(V) enhances aircraft survivability by detecting multiple laser aided threats and weapons systems.
Goodrich's ISR Systems team in Danbury, Conn. will supply the components. Andreas Nonnenmacher, vice president, ISR Systems said, "This order supports our long standing relationship with the US Army to provide our service men and women with this vital aircraft survivability technology. This contract allows for the supply and support of this critical equipment deployed in the field, while continuing production of the next generation system."
The AN/AVR-2A(V) has been in production since 1995 and is the predecessor to the latest generation of Goodrich aviation laser warning systems, the AN/AVR-2B(V). Both are capable of multiple aircraft signal interfaces and detect rangefinders, target designators, and beam rider laser-aided weapons systems. In addition to its core capabilities the AN/AVR-2A(V) can interface with the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System, Air-to-Ground Engagement System II (MILES-AGES II) training system to provide pilots with combat tactical training that closely simulates weapon engagements.
During the last 25 years Goodrich and its predecessor companies have delivered over 8,500 aviation and ground laser warning systems to the US and other armed forces around the world. This includes more than 1,500 AN/AVR-2A(V) systems.
