Danbury Mission Technologies has received the second order in a multi-year contract with the U.S. Army to supply laser detecting systems.
The company, which is part of the Danbury-based ARKA Group, first signed the deal with U.S. Army Contracting Command at the Detroit Arsenal in August 2023.
Its AV/VVR-4 laser detecting system will be installed on multiple Army ground vehicles as part of the five-year, $136 million contract.
"The laser warning products that ARKA provides protect our warfighter, save lives and create a significant advantage over our nation's adversaries," said George McGovern, director of ARKA Defense Systems.
The company will also provide test hardware and support services as part of the contract.
ARKA, which has been headquartered in Danbury since the 1960s, develops defense systems that are deployed across a range of military platforms, including optical technologies, radar and sensor, information processing and analytics technologies.
