FARMINGDALE, N.Y., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Telephonics
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon Corporation
(NYSE: GFF), announced today that it has been awarded a contract
from Oshkosh Defense, LLC for NetCom™ Vehicle
Intercommunications Systems to be integrated onto the company's
Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) for the U.S. Army and Marine
Corps. The faster and more agile JLTV will replace a portion of the
military's current fleet of up-armored HMMWVs. With the additional
capabilities of NetCom, these vehicles will further enhance the
situational awareness and safety of U.S. troops via clear and
secure communications.
NetCom offers a complete crew intercommunications and radio
management system providing operability for up to twenty users.
With adaptive noise cancellation technology at each microphone
input, NetCom enhances audio intelligibility while protecting user
hearing. The system's low size, weight and power consumption
greatly simplifies installation and integration onto the JLTV
platform where these benefits for the troops are of critical
importance.
"NetCom will provide the communications capabilities needed to
further ensure the safety and success of our Armed Forces during
their often dangerous and complex missions," said Mike Beltrani, Vice President and General
Manager, Communications and Surveillance Systems, Telephonics.
"NetCom has been field tested extensively in battle and its "system
in a box" design will provide a distinct tactical, cost,
integration and life-cycle advantage to the U.S. Army."
"Telephonics is proud to have been chosen as a member of this
historic U.S. Army armored vehicle program," said Joseph J. Battaglia, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Telephonics. "We look forward to a close
partnership with Oshkosh Defense over the life of this program and
to providing a modern, state-of-the-art solution to further
safeguard and protect the men and women of our Armed Forces."
