missile-defense radar WASHINGTON – U.S. Navy missile-defense experts are asking the DRS Laurel Technologies segment of Leonardo DRS in Johnstown, Pa., to provide AN/SPQ-9B anti-ship missile defense (ASMD) radar systems to help protect U.S. Navy surface warships from enemy anti-ship missiles.
Officials of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington announced a $64.3 million contract to DRS Laurel last week to build as many as 59 AN/SPQ-9B ASMD radar systems and related equipment. With this contract DRS Laurel displaces the AN/SPQ-9B incumbent contractor Northrop Grumman Corp.
