EDO Corporation has been awarded a $10 million contract to provide radar and surveillance systems to the Danish navy.

US-based EDO will provide its ES 3701 Tactical Radar Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Surveillance System on the new Danish Flexible Support Ships and Patrol Ships. The contract was awarded in an international competition by the Naval Material Command of Denmark.

The ES 3701 is a state-of-the-art precision ESM system that detects, identifies, and locates hostile ship and missile radar signals. The system will enable the ship's commanding officer to quickly react with an appropriate defensive response.

"With the threat of modern weapons, a high-precision ESM system is essential for ship survivability," said James M. Smith, EDO's chief executive officer. "Our system is in demand not only for its superior situational-awareness capabilities, but also for its human interface. Our engineers work closely with customers to understand what they really need and how to display the information effectively. That is why the ES 3701 is in such demand by navies worldwide."
