MERRIMACK – Kollsman Inc. announced receipt of two follow-on orders from the Marine Corps for its high-performance Laser Target Designator systems that have proven successful in field test evaluations.
The additional orders, under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, consisting of approximately $16.9 million and $34 million respectively, represent an increase over the initial order issued in July 2006. Part of the work will be performed by Elbit Systems Electro-Optics Elop Ltd.
Carried and operated by Forward Air Controllers and Reconnaissance Marines, the system allows the warfighter to target enemy troops and equipment with munitions specifically designed for laser guidance and high accuracy. During rigorous testing by the Marine Corps, the LTD met the performance requirements for having the required marking range, operational suitability and life cycle support.
Kollsman, based in Merrimack, is a provider of enhanced vision systems, flight displays, cabin pressurization systems, test equipment, head-up displays and aircraft instrumentation.
