(Minneapolis, July 21, 2008) -- Alliant Techsystems (NYSE: ATK) announced today that the U.S. Navy's Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Md. has awarded the company $16.4 million in follow-on production orders for the AAR-47 A(V)2 missile warning system, an electronic warfare system designed to protect helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft against surface-to-air missile threats.
ATK is also developing the AAR-47 B(V)2 to meet emerging battlefield threats. It is currently in final testing and will provide aircrews with enhanced threat detection in urban and industrial areas by providing them with background clutter level indications. Existing installed AAR-47 systems will be upgradeable to the B(V)2 variant without any change to the aircraft's A-kit.
"ATK's AAR-47 missile warning system continues to play a critical role in military missions day in and day out around the globe. We take great pride in our ability to respond to current and evolving threats and by providing military aircrews with the protection they require to successfully perform their missions," said Bill Kasting, Vice President and General Manager, ATK Integrated Systems.
