Littleton Operations, Massachusetts
Customers often rely on Littleton for the manufacture of legacy products, enabling them to focus their own manufacturing expertise on new products and programs. Littleton's experience in product sustainment enables them to easily handle these long-term production contracts, which often extend over a number of years. Customers have also relied on the Littleton facility to handle short production runs that are not economically feasible within their own facility. The size and workflow at Littleton makes it easy for them to handle these short production runs at a reasonable cost. Again, this enables the customer to focus their own manufacturing capabilities on larger and more extensive runs and enhance their own profitability. Five Distinct Manufacturing and Test Functions The Littleton Manufacturing and Test operations are organized into five distinct areas:
Turn-Key Manufacturing with a Teaming Focus As noted earlier, Littleton utilizes flexible, rapid change assembly stations in their manufacturing process. Experienced, skilled assemblers complete each production unit as part of a team for that particular product. These teams take great pride in their workmanship, assuring customers of the quality that comes only with the "ownership" facilitated by this teaming approach. As new assemblers are inserted into production teams they are mentored by their seasoned team members. This insures not only that they master their assembly skills but also that they are fully integrated with their team. Customers can be assured that they will receive consistently high-quality output from their products dedicated assembly team. The Experience to do the Job Right For more than 35 years, the manufacturing professionals in Littleton have satisfied the needs of a wide range of military programs and customers. Their specific expertise lies in power distribution, systems controls, weapons systems and locating and positioning systems.

As part of our business diversification plan, the Littleton facility has expanded into the design and production of highly-specialized security solutions. Our exclusive Quick-reaction Perimeter Intrusion Detection system (QUPID) is a new, low cost, intrusion detection and tracking sensor that monitors the area beyond a fence line to extend the perimeter defenses. With a range of selection of between 30 meters to 100 meters and beyond, the system provides early warning of an intrusion before they actually occur. QUPID can detect vehicles and intruders on foot, even someone crawling on the ground.
Partnership for Air Traffic Control Modernization The Littleton Operation is also partnered in a Joint Venture with GM-Merc to provide a variety of Air Traffic Control Modernization solutions, including Video Map Generators and other navigation related products.
