The contract was awarded by General Electric's Naval and Drive Turbine System Division in Fitch- burg, Mass., prime contractor for the IED development program. Scheduled for delivery in August 1993, the switchgear will be in- stalled in the Navy's Land Based Test Site at the Naval Ship Systems Engineering Station (NAVSSES) in Philadelphia, Pa. The contract is the result of sev- eral years' work with GE to assist in system/concept development as re- lated to switchgear and the overall electrical protection system. Re- cently, the Chief of Naval Opera- tions announced the Navy's inten- tion to power future surface comba- tants with electric drive propulsion systems. SPD president George M. Gor- don said being a member of the IED team was a significant win which positions SPD to be a strong partici- pant in a very critical aspect of the ongoing "revolution at sea" concept formulated by Vice Adm.
