FAA Makes Addition to Wespercorp Contract

Wespercorp, a Santa Ana computer manufacturer, said the Federal Aviation Administration has increased to $29.4 million the company’s three-year-old contract for flight controller communication equipment.

The recent approval of a $5-million addition is the latest of several increases the company has received on the contract since it was signed for about $13 million in 1983, Wespercorp President George Dashiell said.

The contract calls for Wespercorp to install computers in control towers that relay air traffic information to a mainframe computer at a control center.
