L3Harris Technologies reports the united state Navy has actually worked out an alternative on its formerly granted agreement to generate improved submarine imaging poles as well as spares.
L3Harris stated it will certainly supply 2 setups of its Type 20 inconspicuous pole to fulfill the Navy’s functional needs. Production will certainly be carried out at L3Harris’ Northampton,Mass center, with first distributions set up to start in 2024.
L3Harris defines its Type 20 pole as a modular non-hull-penetrating imaging sensing unit that makes use of a telescoping global modular pole to provide better high-def aesthetic imaging capacities.
“The Type 20 low-profile mast is the next-generation imaging mast that will provide enhanced capabilities to the Virginia and Columbia class submarines,” stated Rosemary Chapdelaine, President, Maritime, L3Harris. “Under this contract, we will deliver technology advancements to support the U.S. Navy’s mission and operational requirements, which will enable the users to see and control the submarine integrated imaging systems.”
