CRANSTON, RI -- EMS provider Federal Electronics Inc. was selected by Charles Stark Draper Laboratories (CSDL) to build interconnect assemblies for the Trident II (D5) MK6 Life Extension Guidance System (Mk6LE). The goal of the MK6LE program is to extend the guidance system life to 2042 while lowering the Navy’s future maintenance and support costs. As the Prime Contractor, CSDL oversees the MK6LE development team and its major subcontractors as it modernizes the missile’s MK6 inertial guidance system. Product and process qualification is currently underway and is expected to be completed in Q'01 2010. Production is expected to commence in mid-2010 in support of requirements at the Integrated Support Facility (ISF) in Pittsfield, MA. The ISF is managed by Draper and operated by a joint General Dynamics/Raytheon team, where all inertial measurement unit (IMU) and guidance system electronics repair will take place. Federal Electronics is a vertically-integrated EMS provider offering advanced technology circuit card assembly, cable and wire harness assembly, fiber optic interconnect assembly and functionally tested higher-level assemblies and system-level integration. The company serves military prime contractors and OEMs. For more information, visit www.federalelec.com. Draper Labs produces high-accuracy guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) systems.
