November 14, 2005 – ITT today announced it has received a 3-year contract from the U.S. Army's Technology Applications Program Office, Fort Eustis, VA, to produce electronic warfare systems for Special Operations Army helicopters. Contract work will be performed by ITT's Avionics division in Clifton, NJ.

"We're pleased to be supplying self-protection systems to these mission critical Special Operations helicopters," said Chris Bernhardt, president of ITT's Avionics division. "Our proven modular systems solution increases the survivability of these rotorcraft, and even more importantly, our warfighters."

Under the contract, ITT will supply ALQ-211 electronic warfare systems to the Army, with deliveries continuing until 2008. The ALQ-211 family of SIRFC systems plays an important role in mission success and survivability of rotary wing aircraft. This next-generation electronic protection suite provides advanced radar warning, situational awareness and electronic countermeasures capabilities. SIRFC will allow aircrews to detect, evade and defeat modern and emerging air defense threats.
