Business Wire
United Defense Industries, Inc. (NYSE:UDI) has been awarded a $44.1
million contract modification by the Naval Sea Systems Command for
the production of three Mk 45 Mod 4 Naval Gun systems. The 5-inch,
62-caliber Mk 45 Mod 4 is a fully-automated naval gun capable of
supporting anti-surface, strike, fire support and anti-air warfare
missions. Production work will be performed in Minneapolis, MN, and
Louisville, KY, and is expected to be completed during 2007. The
three guns ordered by the Navy are for installation aboard the
Navy's DDG 110 through DDG 112. "Production of major caliber naval
gun systems has been an important part of our history for more than
60 years," said Keith Howe, Vice President and General Manager of
United Defense's Armament Systems Division. "Today we are building
new Mk 45 naval guns, overhauling existing Mk 45 naval guns,
designing and developing a new 155-mm Advanced Gun System for the
DD(X) program, and beginning to build and deliver smaller caliber
naval gun systems like the 25-mm Mk 38 Mod 2 Machine Gun and the
57-mm Mk 110 Naval Gun. Delivering naval guns and new naval gun
technology to the Navy is a part of who we are, and will continue
to be a core capability." About United Defense United Defense
