The contracts were awarded to DRS by various intelligence agencies and U.S. government organizations, as well as domestic and international defense prime contractors. For these orders, DRS will provide various high-performance tuners, receivers, demodulators and direction finding equipment.

Work for these awards will be accomplished by the company's DRS Signal Solutions unit in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Product deliveries are expected to continue for approximately six months.

"These new contracts support our role as a major contributor of advanced intelligence technology solutions," said Steven T. Schorer, president of DRS's C4I Group.

"DRS's products offer superior radio frequency (RF) performance, a high degree of reliability and unparalleled overall performance for the intelligence community, which has led to the continued growth of our business. DRS remains a key supplier of intelligence equipment for the global war on terror."

DRS's receivers, tuners, demodulators and signal analyzers perform signal intercept, including cellular intercept, identification, direction finding, location and analysis functions within the 5 kHz to 40 GHz frequency spectrum.

Deployed in many ways, such as on board the U.S. Air Force RC-135V/W Rivet Joint aircraft, U.S. Army helicopters and other aircraft, on a variety of U.S. Navy ships and submarines, and at mobile and fixed sites, the company's product lines range from miniature, single-function components to integrated assemblies and systems, and are supported by DRS's custom software development.
