New York-based EDO Corp. announced Wednesday that it has won a contract to develop new passive-sonar technology on U.S. Navy submarines.
The hydrophone-array equipment will be produced at EDO's Electro-Ceramic Products facility in Salt Lake City.
The contract, which has a base year plus four option years and a ceiling of $7.7 million, includes the design, development and production of wide-band, multi-mode and radius-of-curvature sensors with associated electronics and electro-optics. It was awarded by the Newport Division of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
