Michigan Supplier Starts Aerospace and Defense Operation

Michigan-based auto supplier JVS now has an aerospace and defense division. JVIS opened a tech center in Auburn Hills, Mich., last month to support the operation. JVS officials said the facility would be part of a new company functioning as a business separate from the company’s automotive interests, producing a variety of A&D products. Its first contract is with the Army’s Ground Vehicle Systems Center in Warren, Mich., manufacturing part of the “silent watch” auxiliary power unit. The contract is valued at $13.2 million. The unit converts diesel fuel into electric power to keep military systems running without just using diesel generators. The heat and noise they produce can be a risk to troops on the battlefield.

Airport High puts artistic spin on Michigan snowplow safety

Airport High School students are putting their artistic skills to work on a Michigan snowplow while helping spread a message about safer winter driving. The Carleton school is among five Michigan schools participating in the Michigan Department of Transportation's annual Paint the Plow project, according to a community announcement. Airport High represents MDOT's University Region in the program. Students painted a snowplow blade as part of this year's "See snow? Go slow!" theme, which encourages motorists to slow down in winter conditions, stay alert and give snowplows enough room to operate safely. The finished snowplow blades will be put to work along Michigan state trunklines this winter, giving students' artwork a public display while the plows clear snow and ice. Paint the Plow combines art and winter safety MDOT's Paint the Plow program invites students to create artwork on snowplow blades built around safe-driving messages. The program also seeks to raise awareness of the snowplow operators who maintain Michigan roads during winter weather. Airport High is one of five schools participating this season. The others are Heritage High School and Cass City Jr./Sr. High School in MDOT's Bay Region, Belding Middle School in the Grand Region and Coloma High School
