Cobham Wins US Army Missile Simulation System Order Worth up to $56M

HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA - Cobham has been awarded a $4.7 million delivery order for the initial design and development of a mobile Infrared/Ultraviolet (IR/UV) threat simulator for the U.S. Army. 

As prime system integrator for the Army's Multi-spectral Sea and Land Target Simulator (MSALTS), Cobham's Analytic Solutions strategic business unit could see the contract's total value grow to $56 million if all options are exercised and funded during the next five years.

"The MSALTS award is another demonstration of the program positions we can win by bringing together key technologies from different strategic business units across Cobham," said Randy Morgan, president of Cobham Analytic Solutions. "Looking forward, we see great opportunities to market Cobham's capabilities as a whole to deliver technically superior and cost effective solutions to the war fighter."

According to the US Army, the MSALTS project will provide the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) Center for Countermeasures (CCM) and its customers with a portable Infrared/Ultraviolet open-air missile simulator to support multiple simultaneous missile engagement tests and/or missile warning systems.

The contract was awarded 7 December 2010 with work in design and development being performed in Alabama, Florida and New Jersey. Options are available for additional systems, and will be exercised by the Government as required. Contract period of performance is 60 months.
