Sypris To Sell Communications Equipment To U.S. Military

Sypris Solutions won a contract worth about $200 million to provide keying equipment for radios to the U.S. military. The five year contract will provide key loaders that are used to put cryptographic material into radios “keying” them to receive and transmit. Modern digital communication equipment are present in vehicles, ships, aircraft and man packed radios and most require some level of encryption or frequency keying in order to make them usable on networks.

Sypris will design and fabricate the equipment at their facility in Tampa, FL. The goal is to have a system that is cheaper, lighter and easier-to-use then existing equipment.
