Titan lands Prowler pact

Titan Corp. of San Diego won a five-year contract potentially worth more than $40 million to provide technical engineering support services for the Navy's EA-6B Prowler aircraft.

Titan will provide hardware and software systems engineering, simulation and test support in all phases of the EA-6B aircraft Operational Flight Program development and maintenance.

The Prowler is a part of the Navy battle groups engaged in the war on terrorism. EA-6B Prowlers provide an advanced electronic umbrella of protection for other strike aircraft, ground troops and naval ships by jamming enemy radar, electronic data links and communications.

Specific programs supported by Titan under the contract include the EA-6B avionics, tactical EA-6B mission support, tactical aircraft mission planning, EA-6B tactical information and report management system and electronic warfare programmability and intelligence systems.
