Exelis licenses Belgian technology
Salt Lake City (UPI) Jul 17, 2013 - Exelis reports it has expanded its product line through the licensing of patented manufacturing technology from Belgium-based Bodair S.A.

The licensed technology will allow Exelis to produce composite struts, tubes and rods for commercial and military aircraft.

"The newly acquired technology provides Exelis with a competitive advantage as the aerospace industry continues to expand the use of composites looking for new opportunities to reduce the weight of aircraft," said Mike Blair, vice president and general manager of Exelis Aerostructures. "The STaR (struts, tubes and rods) product line offers customers significant weight savings without compromising strength and durability.

"The combination of the unique manufacturing process and automation technology positions us to meet the market demands with the ability to produce upward of 40,000 STaR parts per year."

Exelis said among the composite hardware components it will produce will be floor beam and wing box struts, control rods and torque tubes.

Details of the licensing agreement with BODAIR S.A. were not disclosed.

Enertec Systems 2001 Ltd is supplying a computer-based test, diagnosis and simulation system to an Israeli company for support of a missile defense system.

The system, like the customer who placed the order, were not identified. The missile system is to be marketed worldwide by the customer and a U.S. defense contractor.

"Our momentum in the aerospace segment continues to deliver new revenue opportunities for us," said David Lucatz, president and chief executive officer of Micronet Enertec Technologies Inc., parent company of Enertec Systems. "Our strong R&D expertise in Missile Defense Systems has led to numerous recent orders for our equipment that is designed to ensure the combat readiness of some of the most advanced and critically-important missile defense systems in the world.

"Increasing missile attack threats and recent unfortunate events have increased interest around the globe in the combat-proven missile defense solutions that we support."

The order for Enertec's test, diagnosis and simulation system is a follow-on order and worth $1.2 million. The system will be delivered next year and additional orders are expected.

Kaman gets order to produce more bomb fuzes
Bloomfield, Conn. (UPI) Jul 17, 2013 - Joint programmable fuzes (cq) for bombs used by the U.S. Air Force will continue to be produced by the Kaman Corporation.

The fuzes allow a bomb's settings to be programmed while on an aircraft in flight.

The JPF is used with general purpose bombs, and guided bombs that use JDAM or Paveway kits, on U.S. aircraft such as F-15, F-16, F-22, A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52 and the MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle.

"This order further solidifies the outlook for our largest single program with a backlog of $117 million that extends into 2016," said Kaman Aerospace Group President Greg Steiner. "The order demonstrates the USAF's continued fuzing requirements and commitment to the program."

The order is worth $8.5 million and is the eleventh option exercise of an earlier contract. With the new order, that contract now has achieved a value of about $50.4 million.

Kaman said units to be produced under the extension will be delivered next year and in 2016.

In addition to the United States, 26 other countries utilize Kaman's fuzes.
