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.
