Fullerton-based ThalesRaytheonSystems Co. has landed a $130 million contract under a previously won Army deal, the company said Monday.
The latest award brings the company’s total value under the contract to more than $220 million.
Under the deal, ThalesRaytheonSystems will provide spare parts for the Firefinder radars. The radars detect, track and locate enemy weapons, allowing forces to “engage” targets with better accuracy.
“We are taking extreme steps to increase our capacity to support Army requirements,” said John Coulson, ThalesRaytheonSystems program manager. “The company is adding second shifts where necessary to boost capacity, and we are working diligently with our key suppliers to improve deliveries.”
ThalesRaytheonSystems, a maker of radar and communications systems, is owned equally by Waltham, Mass.-based Raytheon Co. and Thales Group in France.
