Work on the U.S. Air Force's next-generation GPS payload and ground system programs helped ITT Exelis Inc.'s Geospatial Systems division overcome declines in its classified business to post a $50 million revenue gain for the first nine months of 2011, the company said Oct. 28. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, ITT Exelis also cited work on the main camera for DigitalGlobe's WorldView 3 commercial imaging satellite as a factor as Geospatial Systems reported sales of $902 million for the nine-month period ending Sept. 30. The company's classified business declined by $30 million over that same period, the company said. Geospatial Systems, one of four divisions of ITT Exelis, booked $308 million in third-quarter revenue, an increase of nearly 20 percent over the same period last year. McLean, Va.-based ITT Exelis, which began trading publicly Nov. 1 after being spun off from ITT Corp., attributed the quarterly gains to the GPS ground system moderniza- tion effort, known as GPS OCX; sales of night vision goggles; and work on other, unidentified U.S. government programs.
