Telephonics to make USMC ECMs
Telephonics has been awarded a manufacturing contract by Sierra Nevada (SNC) to support around 580 Modi II Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) systems for the US Marine Corps (USMC) Marine Expeditionary Units, it announced on 8 February.
The SNC-designed Modi II is a man-pack ECM jammer that is currently in full-rate production at Telephonics' Long Island manufacturing facilities. Production is scheduled to be completed by the end of summer 2016.
Hector Colon, corporate vice president, Telephonics, said: ‘Telephonics is extremely proud to partner with SNC on the Modi II team, helping provide life-saving technologies to our service members. Telephonics has a proven track record of effectively executing low- and high-volume contract manufacturing efforts of sophisticated electronics equipment and delivering quality products on time, every time.
‘Modi II affirms our continued commitment to support these critical programs for our armed forces.’
