Additional supplies include Spearhead VHF handheld radios, unit and intermediate level spares, installation services, as well as field service representative support to the customer.

ITT Exelis international night-vision and tactical communications systems business area vice president Ken Harrison said the contract built on the customer’s substantial Exelis-installed radio product base in a challenging security environment.

"We will continue to work hard to fulfil US and allied communications requirements with our tactical radio products," Harrison added.

The latest award forms part of an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) FMS contract awarded by CECOM to the company in 2008, and brings the total value of orders received to $451m to date.
