Textron Marine Awarded

Navy Contract With $300 Million Potential

A U.S. Navy contract totaling $138.9 million has been awarded to

Textron Marine Systems (TMS) in

New Orleans, La., for the produc- tion of all 12 Landing Craft, Air

Cushion (LCAC) vehicles and re- lated equipment. The contract also contains options for government FY 92 procurement of up to 12 addi- tional craft plus centrally procured items and spares. If all contract options are exercised, the contract value will be in of excess of $300 million, bringing the TMS business backlog to a level in excess of 3/4 billion dollars. "The LCACs continue to perform well beyond contract requirements.

The craft, which rides on a cushion of air, can operate independently of water depth and underwater ob- stacles. Seventeen of the 88-foot- long LCACs were deployed to the

Persian Gulf," TMS president John

J. Kelly said. "The LCACs were transported from the United States to the Gulf area in amphibious sup- port ships." "The award of this LCAC con- tract with its options, together with other government programs, will result in stabilized employment with moderate growth at Textron Marine

Systems over the next five years,"

Mr. Kelly added.

Textron Marine Systems has delivered 22 LCACs to the Navy, three are currently in test and 20 are in production.

A U.S. leader since 1961 in the design and construction of advanced technology air cushion vehicles and surface effect ships, Textron Marine

Systems, Division of Textron Inc., serves both military and commer- cial interests and maintains a sig- nificant commitment to independ- ent research and development of air cushion vehicles.
