As part of a strategy to shed its image as a maker of clever but lonely boxes, ITT’s defense segment last month announced a realignment aimed at propelling it to the top ranks of wider systems integrators. The company says its redesign “will enable better integration of its product portfolio, encouraging a more coordinated market approach and reduced operational redundancies.”
Most visible initially will be the renaming of the segment as ITT Defense and Information Solutions, which consolidates seven separate divisions into three.
The Electronic Systems and Communications Systems divisions, as well as a portion of the Intelligence & Information Warfare division, are being merged to form a “more versatile” Electronic Systems division, based in Clifton, New Jersey, and tasked with delivering “advanced protection measures that work together to help ITT’s customers defend their networks and disable enemy networks.” It will shift its focus from producing “separate, point-of-use products to secure, networked communications systems and powerful sensing, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies that address the entire spectrum of electronic warfare.”
