AWS Electronics to supply cables to Racal Acoustics
At the recent DSEi exhibition, AWS Electronics signed a contract worth 1million to supply Racal Acoustics with over-moulded cable assemblies for use in latest-generation headsets used by armed forces worldwide to enable communications in noisy environments across the full range of military vehicles.
AWS Electronics is a company within the AWS Group, one of the UK's leading specialist Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers, delivering services for the complete electronic product life cycle from design through manufacture to contract service and repair.
Neal Muggleton, head of marketing and product management at Racal Acoustics, comments: "Each vehicle or aircraft has a different noise signature. Our headsets now use digital active noise reduction technology to facilitate communication and offer protection across the entire spectrum."
Paul Deehan, Chief Executive of AWS Group (pictured left), adds: "We are delighted to win such a prestigious contract with one of the world's leading military equipment suppliers." Keith Heslop, Supply Chain Director at Racal Acoustics (pictured right), states: "AWS Group is highly experienced in the defence sector, with a reputation for delivering high-quality manufacturing services. Additionally, AWS has invested in new facilities in Eastern Europe to ensure that they are highly cost-competitive. We anticipate a mutually beneficial long-term partnership between our two companies."
