APOPKA, Fla., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northrop Grumman
Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a contract potentially
valued at more than $98 million for the procurement of nearly 940
Special Operations Forces Laser Acquisition Marker (SOFLAM) Special
Operations Forces Laser Rangefinder Designators (SOFLRD),
associated data and provisioning items. Naval Surface Warfare
Center, Crane, Ind., is the contracting activity for the five-year,
firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
The work will be performed in Apopka, Fla. The SOFLAM SOFLRD is a
lightweight integrated laser designator and rangefinder that
provides Special Operations Forces personnel the capability to
locate and designate critical enemy targets for destruction using
laser-guided ordnance. The SOFLAM SOFLRD is capable of remote
firing and for mounting accessories such as pointers and night
sights. "The SOFLAM SOFLRD is a very specialized piece of equipment
built specifically for our special forces," said Gregory Williams,
general manager of the company's Laser Systems business unit. "It
is a target designator and marker that can be easily carried by one
person. It can be operated remotely -- an important attribute when
our forces are operating covertly. The SOFLAM SOFLRD will give our
special forces the capability to remain undetected while they put
highly accurate, precision-guided munitions exactly on target."
