| Digital Power Corporation announced that its wholly-owned Salisbury, UK subsidiary, Digital Power Limited, has been awarded a major contract for the Australian Navy. DPL operates under the name Gresham Power Electronics. Gresham has been selected to supply helicopter starting rectifiers and DC power distribution systems for the new Air Warfare Destroyer, which will be built by Australia's largest specialized defense shipbuilding organization. The AWD is based on the existing F100 frigate platform, and already is in service with the Spanish navy. It is a baseline design that requires minimal modifications for Australian use. The AWD incorporates a modified version of the power system models that Gresham has provided to Spain in support of its F-100 program. :theflyonthewall.com |
