BAE Systems and Army Depot Sign Product Support Partnership BAE Systems and the Tobyhanna Army Depot signed a partnership agreement to better provide the Army with cost-effective weapon systems, support, and rapid product improvements. The depot provides repair and overhaul services on a variety of aircraft and ground-based weapon systems. The BAE Systems/Tobyhanna Army Depot team will focus on product total life-cycle management, reliability growth, depot maintenance optimization, supply-chain management, obsolescence management, engineering changes, and product improvement. Through this partnership, the companies will provide American warfighters with the most dependable products available, and the capability to field and support equipment as quickly as possible. BAE Systems and the Tobyhanna depot have a history of collaborating to enhance the safety and operational readiness of Army aviation assets. One recent example is the development and fielding of desert filter kits for AN/ALQ-144 infrared countermeasures systems equipped aircraft. BAE Systems and Tobyhanna already are teaming to support the rapid fielding and future repair of BAE Systems' Common Missile Warning System (CMWS) electronic components, deployed on aircraft throughout Southwest Asia. CMWS is flying on multiple Army and allied helicopters and Army fixed-wing aircraft and is credited with saving numerous aircraft and crews from man-portable air defense missiles. The Tobyhanna Army Depot is part of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command. The depot in northeastern Pennsylvania is the Department of Defense's largest center for the repair, overhaul, and fabrication of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems that range from tactical field radios to the ground terminals that support the defense satellite communications network. |
