Teledyne Awarded New Decontamination System Contract

The JMDS will be designed to remove toxic contamination as a result of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons from sensitive electronic equipment, command posts, aircraft and avionics, and other applications where water and harsh decontamination materials could damage or destroy items being decontaminated.

“With the award of the JMDS, Teledyne Brown will leverage its strength in engineered systems to deliver a technology that the Department of Defense has sought for many years,” said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Teledyne Technologies.

The initial contract, valued at $14.7 million, calls for Teledyne Brown to develop and test the JMDS. Teledyne Brown will also prepare associated documentation, and provide training, logistics, technical and field support.

Follow-on options call for low rate initial production and final production of JMDS on successful demonstration of system performance. For this effort, Teledyne Brown is teamed with BIOQUELL, PLC (LSE:BQE) of Andover, England, a full service provider of biological decontamination equipment and services for hospitals and other critical applications.
