LANCASTER: Herley Industries, Inc. announced today that the Republic of South Korea Navy has awarded Herley Industries an initial $6.3 million contract on IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) shipboard Interrogators, Transponders and ancillary equipment for installation on a series of new patrol vessels. This is a follow-on contract to previous Republic of South Korea Navy contracts with Herley for similar and other types of combat vessels.

In addition to furnishing all hardware and installation materials, Herley will provide the necessary on-site field engineering while performing the ship's radar integration and assisting in the cryptographic certification.
