Tracor, Inc. Awarded $4.9-Million Contract

The Naval Ship Systems Command has awarded Tracor, Inc. a $4.9-million contract to continue engineering, installation, and lo- gistics support to the sonar systems on the

Navy's missile-carrying submarines.

Under this contract, Tracor will coordinate with several other contractors, Navy labora- tories and shipyards, and Navy offices involved in the development, installation, and logistics of sonars being developed and produced for the Navy's Polaris and Poseidon submarines.

These sonars will provide the strategic mis- sile fleet a better capability to avoid potential enemies at sea and to protect themselves if attacked.

As coordinator, Tracor will review the sonar designs and installation plans, and will assist in planning and carrying out tests at sea. The company will also make certain that the tech- nical manuals and supplies needed to keep the sonars operating properly are adequate.

Tracor Group vice president Dr. Wayne

Rudmose states that approximately 150 Tracor,

Inc. scientists, engineers, technicians, and managers will be involved on this contract.

Most of the work will be accomplished at

Tracor's Rockville, Md., and Austin, Texas, facilities. However, Tracor representatives located in various manufacturing plants and shipyards throughout the country will also be involved in this work.

The program office for this 24-month con- tract will be in Rockville under the general management of division vice president Wendell

C. Murray. The program manager, J.D. Mo- rell, will report to Robert Jackson, director, tactical systems, submarine department. The' program office will be supported by three sys-! tem managers-—Neil Ellis, J. Bailey Rathbone, and Richard Miller.

Tracor began its Work in sonar systems in 1958, and has had a continued involvement with Navy sonar programs since that time.

The company, headquartered in Austin, does research and development in a number of scientific fields and manufactures scientific and medical analysis equipment, electronic naviga- tion systems, and electronic components. Tra- cor has operations in 11 states and six foreign locations. 'N**iff>'tMH
