DRS Technologies has received orders with a combined value of approximately $44 million to provide advanced intelligence equipment supporting all installation types used in the collection of communications intelligence (COMINT) and signal intelligence (SIGINT) data.

These products will be used in man-portable, fixed-site and mobile applications supporting the intelligence community.

The contracts were awarded to DRS by various intelligence agencies and U.S. government organizations, as well as domestic and international defense prime contractors.

For these orders, the company's DRS Signal Solutions unit in Gaithersburg, Maryland, will provide various high-performance tuners, receivers, demodulators and direction finding equipment. Product deliveries are expected to be completed in approximately six months.

DRS's receivers, tuners, demodulators and signal analyzers perform signal intercept, including cellular intercept, identification, direction finding, location and analysis functions within the 5 kHz to 40 GHz frequency spectrum.

The equipment can be deployed on board surveillance aircraft, helicopters, surface and sub-surface vessels, and vehicles, as well as at fixed sites. The company's product lines range from miniature, single-function components to integrated assemblies and systems, and are supported by DRS's custom software development.
