Product deliveries are expected to be completed by 2003, with technical support to continue throughout the products’ life cycles.

“These awards strengthen our reputation as the world leader in Link-11 advanced communications technology solutions,” said Mark S. Newman, chairman, president and chief executive officer of DRS Technologies. “As developers and manufacturers of this product line for more than 15 years with over 1,700 systems deployed worldwide today, the company is well positioned to meet the growing demand for fourth generation Link-11 equipment, both at home and abroad.

Providing increased clarity, accuracy, continuity and commonality, the datacommunications technology incorporated in Link-11 will remain a key element supporting information dominance well into the 21st century.”The Link-11 DTS systems produced under these contracts will be deployed on avariety of naval vessels, including Nimitz class aircraft carriers,Ticonderogaclass Aegis cruisers, Arleigh Burke class Aegis destroyers, Tarawa classamphibious assault ships and Los Angeles class submarines.
