NEW HARTFORD — PAR Technology Corp. last week announced that the U.S. Navy has awarded its subsidiary, Rome Research Corp. (RRC), a five-year $7.9 million contract to provide operation and maintenance-support services at the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Detachment in LaMoure, North Dakota.
The station serves as a swing site for broadcast operations and an operational site to reduce downtime at other transmitter facilities in the Arctic, Atlantic, or Pacific areas of responsibilities, according to a PAR Technology (NYSE: PAR) news release. It has a 1,200-foot monopole base insulated antenna, 100-foot communications tower, transmitter building housing a VLF (very low frequency) transmitter and control system, and other facilities.
“The Navy’s LaMoure VLF facility is an important link in the overall Submarine and DoD communications network,” Stephen Lynch, president of PAR’s government operations, said in the release. “I am pleased that the Navy has selected our Company to provide these services which are vital to the national defense. We look forward to supporting the United States Navy submarine fleet.”
