Datron announces $9million in contracts to customers in Africa and Central Asia
Datron World Communications, Inc. a provider of tactical military communications products, has been awarded two contracts totaling $9 million for the supply of spares for its tactical HF and VHF radios to customers in Africa and Central Asia.
The contracts are a mix of Direct Commercial Sales as well as funds using Datron’s IDIQ with the US Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM).
“Supporting our customers and providing them the ability to continue to sustain the fleet of tactical radio systems that they rely on every day is of the utmost importance to Datron,” said John Biljan, Datron’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “Datron is pleased to continue partnering with its customers in the international military market and the U.S. Government in support of their respective mission requirements.”
Under these two contracts Datron will deliver spare parts and components that will sustain the end-users ability to continue local repair services, thereby expediting the return of radios to operational readiness.
Local repair services are a key component of the success of the company’s customers’ tactical communications architecture as life-cycle costs remain low and operational tempo remains high.
Deliveries of the two contracts are expected within Fiscal Year 2019.
