Kaman gets $93M JPF order

The sales keep ringing up for Kaman’s Joint Programmable Fuzes. Its aerospace segment received a $93 million procurement order from an unnamed foreign government for delivery later this year through 2017.

In a statement, company officials said that drives the product’s backlog to over $300 million. Bloomfield-based Kaman is the only source of the product and has undertaken a significant expansion of its capacity to meet strong demand.

Kaman has been the sole provider of the JPF to the U.S. Air Force since 2002. In addition to the USAF, Kaman provides the programmable fuzes to 26 other nations. The JPF allows the settings of a weapon to be programmed on wing in flight and is the current bomb fuze of choice of the air force.

The JPF is used with a number of weapons including general purpose bombs, and guided bombs on U.S. aircraft such as F-15, F-16, F-22, A-10, B-1, B-2, B-52 and the MQ-9 UAV as well as on international aircraft such as Mirage 3 and Gripen.

Kaman produces the JPF at facilities in Middletown and Orlando, Florida.
