Sign A Deal
Jerusalem (JPFS)--= Tadiran an-
nounced it has signed an $80 mil-
lion contract to supply.
new-generation communications
equipment to the IDF.
The value of the contract was
originally announced hi July as
$50 million but increased due to
the addition of a completely inte-
grated software/hardware pack-
age.
Tadiran said the contract
would assist in competing for oth-
er international contracts:
The contract includes primary
communications equipment, sup-
port systems and laboratories, a
logistics package and instruc-
tional systems.
The new communications sys-
tems will replace those developed
by Tadiran for the IDF in the
1960s and will be used in tanks,
armored personnel carriers and
other vehicles.
Tadiran says the system is low
maintenance, has been tested for
several thousand hours of prob-
lem-free operation and has sur-
passed all quality and reliability
requirements.
A new production line for the
system has been planned as part
of Tadiran's overall reorganiza-
tion into market sectors, which is
scheduled for this year.
The public issues of both Tadi-
ran's communications and bat-
teries divisions are scheduled for
this year.
The closed signing ceremony
took place at Tadiran's offices and
was attended by Chief Commu-
nications and Electronics Officer
Avihu Diskelman; head of pur-
chasing for the Defense Ministry
Haim Adar; Tadiran chairman
and Koor general manager Ben-
ny Gaon; Tadiran general man-
ager Israel Zamir and Tadiran
