E2v Technologies has won three contracts worth a combined £10.7m for its sensors and electronic tubes businesses.

The largest contract, worth £6.1m, is to supply defence electronic subsystems, using E2v’s electronic tube technology, to the UK’s Ministry of Defence. There are opportunities for further orders from future contract phases.

E2v also won a £1.5m contract to supply sensors for the second tranche of the Eurofighter-Typhoon missile approach warning system. The order comes via EADS Deutschland and follows E2v’s completion of the programme’s first tranche.

E2v’s third contract win is worth £3.1m and covers the ongoing supply of marine radar electronic tubes and sensor components to Alphatron Electronic Parts.

Keith Attwood, chief executive of E2v said: “With these contracts we remain confident that we can meet our existing expectations of a traditionally stronger second half across both our electronic tube and sensors product groups.”
