BAE SYSTEMS Receives $35 Million For HAARP Program

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2004--The Office of Naval Research has

awarded BAE Systems a $35.4 million contract to manufacture 132 high

frequency (HF) transmitters for installation in the High Frequency Active

Auroral Research Program's (HAARP) phased array antenna system. The contract

was finalized April 19 with BAE Systems Information & Electronic Warfare

Systems in Washington, D. C.

In 1992, AT was awarded a contract to design and build the Ionospheric

Research Instrument (IRI), the HAARP program's primary tool used to study

ionospheric physics. The IRI is currently composed of 48 antenna elements

and has a power capacity of 960,000 watts. When installed, the additional

132 transmitters will give HAARP a 3.6 mega-watt capacity. The HAARP

build-out is jointly funded by the U. S. Air Force, the U. S. Navy and the

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

BAE Systems is an international company engaged in the development,

delivery, and support of advanced defense and aerospace systems in the air,

on land, at sea, and in space. BAE Systems Information & Electronic Warfare

Systems is a major producer of aircraft self-protection systems and tactical

surveillance and intelligence systems for all branches of the armed forces.
