DRS Technologies Newsroom - $20.3 Million Follow-On Order for LRAS3 Subassemblies

DRS Technologies, Inc., a Finmeccanica Company, announced it has received a follow-on order valued at $20.3 million for critical Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) sub-assemblies.

LRAS3 is a multi-sensor infrared system that enables real-time detection, recognition, identification and geo-location of distant targets.

Used by Army Scouts on Stryker and HMMWV platforms for conducting reconnaissance and surveillance tasks, LRAS3 provides the capability to observe and report on enemy activity while remaining outside of the enemy's acquisition and fire ranges -- a crucial improvement over previous generations of this technology.

The $20.3 million order was issued by Raytheon Network Centric Systems, McKinney, Texas, the LRAS3 program's prime contractor and final integrator. It is the third order this business has placed against this multi-year contract awarded to DRS in 2008.
