U.S. NAVY
(Defenselink -- 4 April 2005) Kollmorgen Corp., Northampton, Mass., is being awarded a $9,900,000 fixed-priced, not-to-exceed modification to previously awarded contract (N00024-02-C-4032) for MK 46 Optical Sight System (OSS) Provisioned Item Order (PIO) spare assemblies, subcomponents and kits. The OSS is an integral component of the MK34 Gun Weapon System, that includes the 5” MK45 Gun Mount and the MK 160 Gun Computer System. The primary function of the OSS is to provide a safety-check sight to allow the gun operator to determine safe firing zones during gun operation. It is also used to support short-range anti-surface warfare, Naval Gun Fire Support counter-battery, and target identification functions. The PIO spare assemblies, subcomponents and kits, which include initial outfitting spares, installation and checkout spares, upgrade kits and conversion kits, are requirements that meet the needs of DDG-51 Class Ships, United States Coast Guard Cutters and FMS Naval Ships. Work will be performed in Northampton, Mass., and is expected to be completed by September 2006. This modification combines support of the U.S. Navy (96 percent) with the Governments of Japan (2.5 percent) and Korea (1.5 percent) under the foreign military sales program. Contract funds in the amount of $38,582 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity.
