The work for this one-year award will begin immediately and be performed by the company's DRS Sustainment Systems business unit in St. Louis, Mo.
The AN/APQ-170 radar is a multimode, redundant, dual-band, forward-looking radar that integrates terrain-following and terrain-avoidance features, as well as ground-mapping, weather detection and avoidance, and beacon interrogation modes of operation. It was specifically developed for the Air Force's MC-130H Combat Talon II airplane.
