April 21 2011 - 6:30AM
Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems named KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq:KVHI) one of its elite suppliers and a recipient of the
2010 Five Star Supplier Excellence Award. KVH was one of only 14
companies out of more than 12,000 to be presented with the coveted
Five Star Award, the highest honor that can be achieved by a
Raytheon IDS supplier and only after achieving 100% on-time
delivery, providing product with a 100% quality record, and
implementing a robust internal improvement program.
"We are tremendously gratified to have earned this recognition
for excellence from Raytheon IDS," says Jeff Brunner, KVH's vice
president of operations for guidance and stabilization products.
"To have achieved the level of performance and quality needed to be
a Five Star Award winner requires a dedicated team effort on the
part of everyone at KVH as well as our partners in the Raytheon
quality and procurement office. Earning this award is a reflection
of our commitment to our ISO-certified quality system, our robust
continual improvement process, and our dedication to providing
superior products that will help U.S. and allied servicemen and
women carry out their missions effectively, efficiently, and
safely."
KVH works closely with Raytheon as a supplier for fiber optic
gyro sensors as well as fully integrated inertial measurement units
(IMUs) like the KVH TG-6000. The TG-6000 IMU precisely measures
both rate and acceleration in three axes, critical for the
navigation of a torpedo or other platforms. The IMU employs a
three-axis configuration of KVH's FOGs, which offer an all-fiber
design and patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for high
reliability, superior accuracy and performance, and exceptional
vibration, shock, and acceleration survivability. The integrated
IMU provides outstanding performance, high reliability, low
maintenance, and easy system integration ideal for use in a wide
range of applications, including manned and unmanned vehicle
navigation and guidance systems for aerial and underwater
vehicles.
