The $5.5 million, firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery supply contract was competitively procured by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport Division, Newport, R.I.

TR-302 transducers are the in-water sensor portion of an acoustic navigation system that measures the depth of water beneath the hull of the submarine.

Smith, EDO's chief executive officer. "The confidence of the Navy in our ability to supply mission-critical sensors on platforms such as the new SSGN cruise-missile strike submarines underscores the strength of our technical and manufacturing capabilities."

The work will be performed by EDO’s Electro-Ceramic Products unit and is expected to be completed by May 2009. EDO Electro-Ceramic Products supplies sonar equipment for antisubmarine and mine warfare, and for underwater navigation and communication for surface ships and submarines.
