METEOSAT and ERS-2 spacecraft, and the Japanese GMS and

ADEOS satellites. Teaming with CSC on this contract are Science &

Technology Corp., Hampton, Va.; Alta Systems, Vienna, Va.; and

Westover Consulting, Silver Spring, Md.; which will share at least 40 percent of the subcontracted labor costs. Other CSC teammates include Amdahl and Computer Associates.

Navy Awards Contract To McDonnell Douglas

The U.S. Navy has awarded McDonnell Douglas a contract for pro- duction of five Thermal Imaging Sensor Systems (TISS).

Manufacturing will be done at McDonnell Douglas' Monrovia, Calif., electro-optical facility, with initial delivery in mid-1997. "The impor- tance of this contract award is that a war-fighting capability critically needed by the surface Navy will soon be in the hands of the fleet," said

Tom Jacobs, TISS program manager. Procured by the Navy in late 1995 from McDonnell Douglas, TISS is an electro-optical surveillance and targeting system for use on Navy surface ships. TISS provides long-range, high-resolution detection and recognition of small targets such as floating mines, periscopes, surface boats, cruise missiles and swimmers. The technology is useful in navigation and search and seizure operations, as well as in identifying threats.
