DALLAS, Texas – July 28, 2015 – G Systems, a leading provider of solutions for automated test and measurement, data acquisition, and control systems, has been awarded a contract valued at over $2.7 million by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme, California to integrate and build the Combined Missile Test Set (CMTS) automated test stations for the U.S. Navy’s MK 41 Vertical Launching System
(VLS).
The CMTS is used for performing empty MK 41 VLS Canister electrical acceptance tests. The MK 41 VLS is a modular, below deck missile launching system that was originally designed for the Navy’s Aegis-equipped guided missile cruisers to provide air threat protection for naval battle groups. The MK 41 VLS is a multi-missile, multi-mission launcher, capable of launching SM-2, SM-3, SM-6, ESSM, Tomahawk, and Vertical Launch ASROC missiles.
In total ten (10) two-bay test cabinet test sets will be delivered (including all contract options). G Systems will assemble and integrate the automated test systems at their Richardson, TX facility outside of Dallas, TX and expects to complete delivery in 2017.
