LaBarge, Inc. has received a $1.2 million contract from Raytheon Missile Systems to provide printed circuit card assemblies for the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Guided Missile Weapon System.

''LaBarge has produced a variety of complex wiring harnesses for the RAM missile system for two decades. This new contract expands LaBarge's support of Raytheon's missile system to include electronic assemblies,'' said Craig LaBarge, chief executive officer and president.

RAM is a supersonic, lightweight, quick reaction, fire-and-forget missile. The system's autonomous dual-mode, passive radio frequency and infrared guidance design provides high-firepower capability for engaging multiple threats simultaneously.

RAM allows vessels of all sizes to defend against anti-ship missiles and other threats. Produced in partnership by Raytheon and RAMSYS of Germany, RAM is aboard more than 100 ships as an integral self-defense weapon for the navies of the United States, Germany, Korea, Greece, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.
