Castle Industries of California Announces L-3 Platform Integration Award

Ontario, California – Castle Industries of California is pleased to announce their recent award for a contract from L-3 Platform Integration to develop a new and improved electronic rack system for the EC-130H Compass Call aircraft.

Castle is responsible for the design, test and manufacture of the rack for L-3. This rack will be mounted into the aircraft and used to house sensitive electronic equipment.

The EC-130H Compass Call is an airborne tactical weapon system using a modified version of the C-130 Hercules airframe. The system prevents successful enemy command and control communications and limits adversary coordination essential for enemy force management. The system also supports tactical air operations and provides conventional and special operations support to friendly forces. Compass Call integrates into tactical air operations at any level. The versatile and flexible nature of the aircraft and its crew enables the power of electronic combat to be brought to bear in virtually any combat situation.

Castle has a long-term and successful relationship with L-3 supporting earlier-generation Compass Call racks. This new contract is a significant upgrade to the aircraft and an important part of the Air Force and its peacekeeping mission.

Castle Industries of California is a subsidiary of M.C. Gill Corporation. M.C. Gill Corporation and its’ subsidiaries; Alcore Inc, Alcore Brigantine, Castle Industries, and M.C. Gill Europe are vertically integrated to offer advanced composite material solutions for the 21st century. M.C. Gill Corporation is headquartered in El Monte, CA.
