U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center selects ITT Exelis airborne

VAN NUYS, Calif., 29 April 2013. ITT Exelis (NYSE:XLS) won a contract
valued at more than $10 million to provide one MK 105 Mod 4 airborne
minesweeping system for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City
Division in Panama City, Fla.
The Navy’s MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopter tows the system through the
water, and twin magnetic tails, consisting of open-electrode magnetic
sweeps, are towed behind the sled, detonating mines to clear the water
for vessels.
Minesweeping is a key feature of the Navy and Marine Corps Anti-
Access, Area Denial strategy. The Exelis MK 105 Mod 4 system is
expected to increase the U.S. Navy's capability to conduct quick-
response, high-speed airborne mine countermeasures missions for the
next decade.
Since its introduction to the U.S. Navy fleet in 1972, the Exelis MK
105 system has been used in every major mine-clearance operation.
“Exelis mine countermeasure systems enable safe passage of military
and commercial vessels through global waterways, ports, and harbors,”
says Dave Prater, vice president and general manager of the Exelis
radar, reconnaissance and undersea systems business. “With our
affordable sweep solutions, our customers can continue to stay ahead
of modern sea mine threats, which have become more lethal and
sophisticated over the years.”
Work on the contract will be performed in Panama City, Fla., by staff
in the Exelis radar, reconnaissance, and undersea systems business
area, which designs and develops integrated minesweeping systems for
the U.S. and allied navies.
