BAE Gets $37M Contract

GREENLAWN, N.Y. -- BAE Systems has received a $37 million contract to provide mission computer system suites for four Boeing 737 airborne early warning and control aircraft, supporting the Republic of Korea's EX program. The 737 EX program will provide the Republic of Korea with enhanced airborne surveillance, communications, and battle-management capabilities.

Under contract from Boeing, EX program prime contractor, BAE Systems also will provide three software development labs to support development, integration, and training of the new mission computer system.

The ever-increasing capability of airborne sensors in surveillance aircraft requires a scalable mission computer system with easy-to-read display data,” said Lloyd Crosman, 737 EX program manager for BAE Systems in Greenlawn, New York.
