Mikros Systems Corporation Awards Contract to DRS Technologies, Inc. for Cruiser Modernization

 

Princeton, NJ /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ April 1, 2008 – Mikros Systems Corporation (OTCBB: MKRS - News), announced today that it awarded a sole-source contract to DRS Surveillance Support Systems in Largo, Florida for the manufacture of six ADEPT^® V2 equipments which will be installed on Aegis cruisers as part of the cruiser modernization program.  The ADEPT V2 is the second generation SPY-1 readiness tool which has been developed by Mikros under a Small Business Innovative Research Program (SBIR). 

This unique test equipment, which includes Mikros’ proprietary software, has the potential of improving the SPY-1 radar readiness as well as serving as a Distance Support Tool for remotely monitoring radars over a satellite link.

“We at DRS are pleased to be working with Mikros in supplying such valuable maintenance equipment to the Aegis modernization program”, said John Churchman, General Manager of the Largo, Florida facility.

Tom Meaney, President of Mikros Systems Corporation said, “The ADEPT system has been tested at the Navy’s land based test site in Moorestown, New Jersey as well as at-sea for a year on the USS San Jacinto.  We are confident ADEPT will reduce maintenance time and enhance the readiness of the Aegis cruisers and destroyers.  It is anticipated that the Navy will be placing orders soon for outfitting the entire Aegis fleet with the newest ADEPT configuration.”
