Sparton gets $1.8 million deal
Schaumburg-based Sparton Corp. Tuesday said that its joint venture, Sonobuoy TechSystems, has been awarded a contract valued about $1.8 million by the Norwegian Defense Procurement Division to manufacture the AN/SSQ-62E DICASS sonobuoy.
The sonobuoys will be manufactured at Sparton's De Leon Springs, Fla., facility for a December delivery.
A sonobuoy detects acoustic emissions or reflections from potentially hostile submarines and transmit these signals to airborne anti-submarine warfare forces. The sonobuoy is an active acoustic sensor used in the final localization and attack phase of submarine prosecutions.
