ITT to Upgrade Precision Approach Radar Systems in Brazil

(White Plains, N.Y., January 28, 2008) -- ITT Corporation has been awarded a sole source contract by CISCEA, part of the Brazilian Ministry of Defense, to upgrade four PAR-2000 precision approach radar systems sold to the country in 1997. The contact, valued at $9.4 million, includes spare parts, training, and assistance with operations and technical support. Work at the original Brazilian PAR sites will commence in 2008 and conclude approximately five years later.

"This contract award reinforces the close working relationship ITT has established with the Brazilian Ministry of Defense on this program over the past decade," said ITT Electronic Systems President Chris Bernhardt. "It also demonstrates the longevity of ITT's PAR-2000 systems, which will now be upgraded to deliver further capability in the coming years."

The PAR-2000 modernization program is designed to enhance supportability of the system deployed at military airfields throughout Brazil.
