Telephonics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Griffon Corporation, has announced that it has been awarded a $22.8M contract from Huneed Technologies for its AN/UPX-44 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system.

Through a Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) contract, Telephonics will supply its AN/UPX-44 to Huneed Technologies to support Republic of Korea naval modernization programs.
