Sparton Corporation announces the successful demonstration of their
maritime payload delivery system at the ANTX (Annual Navy Technology
Exercise) hosted by NUWC (Naval Undersea Warfare Center) in Newport,
RI on August 16 - 18. Sparton, working closely with NUWC and industry
partners, demonstrated the launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
from Sparton’s Hammerhead system. This technology provides the
Navy with a capability not previously available. The demonstration provided
additional opportunities to enhance a product planned for fleet use
in the near future. |

Jim Lackemacher, Group Vice President of Sparton's Engineered Components
and Products segment stated, “We are excited about the Hammerhead
product which represents our next step in the evolution of maritime
payload delivery systems and demonstrates our ability to leverage our
traditional sonobuoy technologies to meet new Navy requirements. I’d
also like to recognize AeroVironment for their instrumental contributions
to this effort.” Comment: Sparton’s Hammerhead system can deploy AeroVironment's Blackwing UAS. |
