Prime contractor Raytheon has awarded a major sub-contract, to develop and produce control and display units (CDUs), for its Successor Identification Friend or Foe (SIFF) programme, to Specialist Electronic Services Limited (SES). The contract, worth a potential £5 million, will run for 5 years,reporting to the Raytheon SIFF prime contract team based in Harlow, Essex, UK.
SES’s Camberley facility will be involved in the development and production of a series of CDUs that will interface with Raytheon transponders and interrogators, used on both aerospace and naval platforms.
This contract is a major success for SES which, together with other recent contract wins in the aerospace and naval markets, has fuelled the Company’s exceptional growth and resulted in a number of recent investments being made in both resources and facilities. SES operations director Mark Stinson sees this contract as validating the company’s approach to providing specialist engineering support for the largest contractors. “We have been working with Raytheon on their IFF systems since 1998; gaining this contract for the SIFF programme is a great success for the company, proving the value of our approach, and the skills and expertise we offer to our customers.”
