Sypris Receives Follow-On Award for Mission-Critical U.S. Navy Program Share

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Sypris Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc., announced that it has received a follow-on award to manufacture and test electronic power supplies for a large, mission-critical U.S. Navy program. Under the new order, Sypris will produce modules for additional systems to be delivered to a U.S. Department of Defense contractor, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027. Terms of the award were not disclosed.

The assemblies to be produced by Sypris will be integrated into an electronic warfare improvement program for the U.S. Navy. According to public sources, the upgrade will provide the capability to actively jam incoming missiles that threaten a warship, cue decoys and adapt quickly to evolving threats. The improvements to the electronic attack portion will provide integrated countermeasures against radio frequency-guided threats, according to the U.S. Navy.

The system is software-defined. Unlike analog systems of the past, the transmitters and receivers can easily adjust to send and receive different waveforms, allowing the system to be more readily adaptable. The U.S. Naval Institute reported that the system’s capability for non-kinetic electronic attack options can be further deployed in additional critical areas. From advanced communications to multi-role waveforms, the multi-function applications of the system will provide enhanced mission capabilities to the U.S. Navy Fleet while presenting opportunities for future reductions in cost, size, weight and power.

“We are honored to receive this follow-on award and to continue our long-term partnership on this important program,” said Mike Sedgwick, Vice President & General Manager of Sypris Electronics. “Our team has supported this critical program for many years, beginning with the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase, advancing through Low-Rate Initial Production and continuing into Full-Rate Production. As maritime threats continue to evolve, shipboard systems must adapt quickly and reliably. This award strengthens our long-standing support for the U.S. Navy’s electronic warfare program and our commitment to delivering the power electronics that help to protect the fleet.”
