IEE announced today that it has received multiple production contracts from EDO Corporation (NYSE: EDO) totaling over 4,100 Remote Control Units (RCU) used on the CREW 2.1 system. Deliveries to support the EDO CREW 2.1 program are anticipated to be through the end of 2007.

The CREW 2.1 [Counter RCIED (Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device) Electronic Warfare] systems are vehicle mounted electronic jamming devices designed to counter radio-controlled IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). The systems are part of the DoD’s Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO).
