07/03/2006

AWS Electronics has produced and supplied fully assembled and tested complex cables to General Dynamics United Kingdom Limited (GD UK) for BOWMAN. The BOWMAN communications system was introduced into service in early 2004 and delivers a step-change in capability over the Clansman family of radios, through its security, data capability, reliability and resilience against Electronic Warfare (EW) attack.

AWS has made substantial investments both in expertise and manufacturing and materials costs including over £1M in equipping an entire workshop, training staff to IPC 620 and relevant GD UK and MoD standards, and purchasing stock.

As a result of its contribution to the Bowman programme, AWS is working with its world class partners in order to offer similar turn-key solutions in cable and harness manufacture.
