Boeing subsidiary Argon ST won a $14.8 million follow-on award for the U.S. Navy's Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program. The firm, fixed-price agreement provides continuous production and delivery of new SSTD systems, as well as optional cost-plus-fixed-fee enhancements to existing SSTD systems, over a period of five years. Argon ST won its original contract for the AN/SLQ-25C system-commonly called "Nixie"-from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command in 2006. Argon ST is the sole contractor for the design, development, and manufacturing of the passive, electro-acoustic decoy system, which is used as a countermeasure against acoustic-homing torpedoes.
