Exelis to repair electronic warfare missile-defense system components

摘要

Electronic warfare (EW) experts at Exelis Inc. in Clifton, N.J., will replace important components of the U.S. Navy Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermea-sures (IDECM) program, which helps defend military aircraft from radar-guided, anti-aircraft missiles. Officials of the Weapon Systems Support branch of the Naval Supply Systems Command in Philadelphia announced a $7.6 million contract to Exelis to repair IDECM weapons replaceable assemblies. Harris Corp. in Melbourne, Fla., completed its acquisition of Exelis last May.
