The US Navy has awarded EF Johnson Technologies a US$48 million contract to design, test and implement a Navy-wide Virtual Perimeter Monitoring System (NVPMS).

Michael Jalbert, President and CEO of EF Johnson Technologies, commented: "Our NVPMS solution has the potential to provide naval vessels, installations, expeditionary forces and TSA sites with a broad set of monitoring, communication and surveillance tools to support physical intrusion detection, chemical and radiological attack, and other asymmetric threats to base personnel and base infrastructure."
