L-3 Brashear Selected as
Subcontractor on Urban Terrain Target Designator
Program
PITTSBURGH, PA, May 1, 2007 – L-3 Communications
Brashear (L-3 Brashear), a division of L-3 Communications,
today announced that The Pennsylvania State University
Electro-Optics Center (PSU-EOC) has selected L-3
Brashear as the subcontractor on the Urban Terrain
Target Designator (UTTD) program. L-3 Brashear
will design, develop and deliver a brass board small
arms weapon-mounted system that is capable of acquiring
and observing targets under day and night conditions,
providing accurate targeting information to the operator
and determining accurate target location. The
system will include an integrated rangefinder, a
target location module, a tactical computer and a
communications link to transfer coordinates to a
remote location.
During Phase I, L-3 Brashear will provide a conceptual
design and one brass board. “This is
an important program because it provides the Marine
Corps highly accurate target locating capability
in a small, light package and grows our relationship
with the PSU-EOC,” said Fernando Faria, President
of L-3 Brashear.
