By WENDELL MINNICK
TAIPEI, Taiwan -
Alabama-based VT Miltope, a subsidiary of Singapore Technologies (ST)
Engineering, will team with General Dynamics C4 Systems on the Common Hardware
Systems-4 (CHS-4) program for the U.S. Army, according to an Oct. 11 press
release issued by ST Engineering.
General Dynamics C4
Systems won a five-year, $3.7 billion contract on Sept. 12 for the CHS-4
program for the U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground.
"CHS-4 provides
a 'no-fee-for-use' rapid procurement path for U.S. military and government
organizations to receive radios, satellite communications and encryption
equipment, computers and other products that are cost-competitive with the
commercial market," a General Dynamics press release said.
Types of equipment
available through the CHS-4 contract include rugged and semi-rugged computers
and ultra-thin client products, computer peripherals, routers, and power
subsystems.
VT Miltope has the
potential to earn up to $250 million during the life span of this contract.
According to the ST
Engineering press release, VT Miltope will provide three military rugged
products that will meet V2 and V3 CHS-4 environmental and Electromagnetic
Interferences (EMI) requirements.
"These
products are the Enhanced/Rugged Handheld Terminal Unit, Rugged Portable
Digital Assistant, and Notebook Computer Unit," the statement said.
