ROSELAND, N.J., -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation received a contract for the Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS) for approximately $4 million from General Dynamics Land Systems in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Curtiss-Wright will produce the Autoloader Controller, Replenisher Controller and Turret System Electronic Unit (TSEU) for the Stryker MGS through its Motion Control segment facility in Santa Clarita, California. Deliveries for this contract are expected to be completed by November 2006.

Combined, the three systems will provide fully automated loading and ammunition replenishing of the 105mm cannon to achieve sustained high fire rates needed for tomorrow's battlefield. The Autoloader Controller works in concert with the TSEU to control loading and unloading of the MGS main gun. The autoloader also works with the Replenisher Controller to transfer the main gun munitions from the replenisher to the ammunitions carousel.

"We are very pleased that General Dynamics has chosen us for this important defense contract and continues to instill their confidence in Curtiss-Wright as a premier supplier," said Martin R. Benante, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "The Stryker is the centerpiece of the U.S. Army's transformation into a more agile and deployable force and is currently deployed in operations in Iraq."
