Chemring Group PLC subsidiary NIITEK Inc. says it is entering a collaboration agreement with MBDA Italia.
As part of the agreement, NIITEK will provide multiple Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) kits, integration and training services in support of the Italian Army Route Clearance package Counter-IED program.
The GPR kits will be integrated onto MBDA’s Vehicle Pushed Detection Trailers. Deliveries under the agreement will be made over a 12 month period.
“We are delighted that MBDA has chosen NIITEK’s battle proven GPR to produce a multifaceted detection capability for the Italian MoD,” said Juan Navarro, president of NIITEK. “This integration will provide an enhanced suite of sensors to soldiers in support of the route clearance mission. We look forward to contributing our GPR fielding expertise in support of MBDA’s success in this endeavor.”
