To Build ESM System For Navy Litton Industries' Amecom Divi- sion, College Park, Md., has been selected by the Naval Systems Di- vision of Boeing Aerospace Com- pany to build the electronic sup- port measures (ESM) system for the U.S. Navy's two new Patrol Hydrofoil Missile (PHM) ships. John Freitag, Amecom president, said the PHM ESM system will employ receiver/processing tech- niques that enable high probability of signal detection, precision bear- ing measurements, mission pro- grammability, low false alarm rate and low system price. The Amecom system will be de- rived from an existing receiver sys- tem design being produced for the Navy's E-2C aircraft. Mr. Freitag said the design of the E-2C system was established on a functionally modular basis so it could be scaled up or down in capability and price, depending on the required appli- cation. This would eliminate R&D cost for new applications and still afford state-of-the-art capability, according to Mr. Freitag. Amecom is a major supplier to growing Government requirements for electronic warfare, and ships' electronic systems, radio naviga- tion, radio communications and telecommunications systems. marathon MARATHON LeTOURNEAU OFFSHORE COMPANY Marathon Building Suite 1700. 600 Jefferson Houston.
