ITT
to bid for major communications contract
The USA’s ITT
is to bid, against Italy’s Finmeccanica,
for a major contract to upgrade the Soviet-era communications systems used by
the Bulgarian General Staff and the
Bulgarian Army, Navy and Air Force.
ITT says
that, if it wins the contract, it is ready to invest E400-600 million
(US$633-950 million) in the country. In April 2007, a consortium of Bulgarian
companies was formed to work with ITT. The consortium includes: Balkantel,
Terem, Technologica, Armitech, Sirma Group, Dasf, Bitova Elektronika, Inmak
2000, Optics, Electron Consortium and Blanor
