Ultra Electronics announced today that ERAPSCO, its 50/50 joint venture with the ECP division of Sparton Corporation, has been awarded a modification to exercise options under an indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for US Navy sonobuoys. The work is expected to be completed by October 2020. The IDIQ option exercise is valued at $219,757,475 USD and enables ERAPSCO to extend continuous production. As previously, Ultra will exclude this IDIQ option value from its order book.
