Spare parts for all radio systems are included along with SpearNet training for both the vehicular and soldier radio systems.

"This is a key award for Exelis from an existing international customer," said Nick Bobay, the president and general manager of Exelis Night Vision and Tactical Communications Systems. "Our widely fielded and combat-proven SINCGARS continues to be the communications backbone for this force, and they are now integrating our SpearNet into their network as well. This is a tremendous vote of confidence in the breadth of communications equipment that Exelis currently offers."

Production of the radios for this international contract will take place at the Exelis Fort Wayne, Ind., facility.
