Textron Systems

Textron Defense Systems, an operating unit of Textron Systems Corporation, manufactures air launched weapons, smart submunitions, intelligent battlefield munitions and sensor systems, and ground and airborne surveillance systems. The Sensor Fuzed Weapon, smart anti-armor weapon, made its combat debut in Operation Iraqi Freedom where accounts of its successful use describe the destruction of multiple armored tanks with a single weapon.

We were awarded several major contracts in the area of force protection including: Intelligent Munitions System, FCS Tactical and Urban Unattended Ground Sensors and a Man-in-the-Loop Force Protection system Spider. We continue to expand our capabilities through the recent acquisition of Innovative Survivability Technologies (IST). IST brings over twenty years experience in survivability systems including vehicle protection systems and radiation detection systems for homeland security applications.
