  Boeing begins involuntary layoffs, but defense biz to remain mostly untouched

  By: Valerie Insinna WASHINGTON — Boeing began making its first round of involuntary layoffs on Wednesday morning, announcing that it will slash the jobs of approximately 6,770 employees across the United States. Boeing's massive commercial business will take the brunt of the cuts, with the company's defense, space and security division only expected to shed less than 100 employees through involuntary layoffs this week. “While the deeper reductions are in areas that are most exposed to the condition of our commercial customers, the ongoing stability of our defense, space and related services businesses will help us limit overall impact, and we will continue hiring talent to support critical programs and meet our customers' evolving needs,” a Boeing spokesman said in a statement. Boeing plans to reduce its total headcount by 10 percent through natural turnover, voluntary layoffs and involuntary cuts — a measure made necessary by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shook the travel industry and called into question commercial airlines' ability to pay for Boeing aircraft already on order. So far, about 5,520 U.S.-based employees have been approved for voluntary layoffs, with about 380 of that sum coming from Boeing's defense business. The approximately 6,770 U.S.-based employees that will be involuntarily laid off this week represents the largest portion of layoffs expected by the company. Those workers will receive severance pay, COBRA health care coverage and career transition services, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said in a message notifying employees about the cuts. “The several thousand remaining layoffs will come in much smaller additional tranches over the next few months,” a Boeing spokesman said. In his message to Boeing employees, Calhoun hinted that the situation is to improve as countries begin reopening businesses and more customers feel comfortable booking air travel. However, it will take years for Boeing to fully recover from the pandemic, he added. “The COVID-19 pandemic's devastating impact on the airline industry means a deep cut in the number of commercial jets and services our customers will need over the next few years, which in turn means fewer jobs on our lines and in our offices. We have done our very best to project the needs of our commercial airline customers over the next several years as they begin their path to recovery,” Calhoun wrote. “I wish there were some other way.” https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2020/05/27/boeing-begins-involuntary-layoffs-but-defense-biz-to-remain-mostly-untouched/

  DSIT Solutions Recently Won a Tender to Supply Its Portable Acoustic Range (PAR) System to an Undisclosed Navy

  November 7, 2019. DSIT Solutions Ltd. ‒ a subsidiary of RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., a pioneer and world leader in underwater defense and security solutions based on advanced sonar and acoustics technologies for naval, homeland security, energy, and transportation applications as well as state of the art fiber-optic sensing for land applications ‒ recently won a tender to supply its Portable Acoustic Range (PAR) system to an undisclosed navy. The PAR is an advanced application of underwater signal processing designed to measure noise radiated by submarines as well as surface vessels. According to Mr. Hanan Marom, DSIT Solutions VP Business Development and Marketing: "We are proud of the long-standing cooperation between DSIT Solutions and the purchasing navy and are pleased that the company's solutions ‒ recognized for their state-of-the-art technologies, excellent service and cost levels ‒ continue to meet the Navy's expectations and needs. We look forward to continuing this fruitful cooperation for many years to come." The PAR system measures the radiated noise of any vessel, on or below the surface, thus enabling navies and shipyards to monitor and control the noise and silence of their submarines and ships. The PAR continuously tracks the measured platforms and transmits the data in real time to a remote command and control unit. This enables real-time radiated noise processing, analysis and display, using a wireless LAN Data Link between measurement buoy and measured platform. The PAR operates in a frequency range of 10-50,000 Hz. This system includes a database console for storing measurement results, which facilitates data management and provides playback and post-analysis capabilities. Mr. Marom added, “DSIT Solutions develops and manufactures technologically advanced, easy-to-operate, cost-effective systems and therefore we have been able to supply our solutions to a wide range of customers and navies in various regions of the world. We are dedicated to adapting the company's solutions to the needs of diverse customers' needs and missions in the fields of acoustics, sonar and fiber-optics.” About DSIT Solutions A subsidiary of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., DSIT Solutions has been developing and implementing for the last three decades complete defense and security solutions targeting various underwater threats. Based on the company's wide range of capabilities, solutions and pioneering technology, DSIT Solutions underwater sonar and acoustic analysis-based security systems for naval, HLS, energy and transportation industries, have been successfully deployed by dozens of sophisticated customers worldwide.
