LOS ANGELES - May 1, 2006 - Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated (NYSE:TDY) announced today
that its subsidiary, Teledyne Wireless, Inc., has completed the
acquisition of certain assets of KW Microwave, a manufacturer of defense microwave components
and subsystems. Located in Carlsbad, Calif., the business will operate as Teledyne
KW Microwave.
KW Microwave designs and manufactures high performance microwave filters and integrated
filter assemblies that are used in military electronic warfare, communication and
navigation systems. KW has also recently developed and begun producing a line of
filters for systems that are designed to counteract improvised explosive devices,
which are of high concern to U.S. and allied military forces.
"KW Microwave's products and capabilities are very complementary to those of Teledyne
Microwave and Teledyne's
other defense electronic companies," said Robert Mehrabian,
chairman, president and chief executive officer of Teledyne Technologies. "Teledyne
Microwave develops and manufactures custom microwave products that perform multiple
functions, including amplification, switching and frequency conversion, in a single
integrated module. Many of these modules require the use of increasingly sophisticated
microwave filters, and the addition of KW Microwave's capabilities for specialized
low-loss, compact lumped-element filters will significantly strengthen Teledyne
Microwave."
Teledyne Technologies is a leading provider of sophisticated electronic components,
instruments and communication products, systems engineering solutions, aerospace
engines and components and on-site gas and power generation systems. Teledyne Technologies
has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico and Canada. For
