Fairfax-based Azure Summit Technology Inc. was awarded a modification to a previous contract from the U.S. Navy to support the AN/ZLQ-1 V2 Common Chassis for the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft, Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and Submarine Sensor Systems Programs.
The deal, which was a modification to a previous contract, was worth almost $22,3 million and covered production, repairs, engineering services and integration of the AN/ZLQ-1 V2 Common Chassis Derivative Systems digital signal processor, digital tuner modules, switches, as well as maintenance, product improvement and testing.
Under the terms of the agreement, the contract value will increase from $48 to $70 million.
The AN/ZLQ-1 uses specific emitter identification (SEI) to track and detect emitters of interest.
