Gestalt, EaglePicher secure $8.8M in defense contracts

Posted online
Gestalt LLC and EaglePicher Technologies will receive $8.8 million from the latest defense appropriations bill, U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt said during an appearance in Joplin this morning.

Both companies will use the funds for research and development work at their Joplin facilities.

Blunt said technology is an increasingly important part of weapons and communications systems.

Gestalt, which received $6.5 million, specializes in coordinating and integrating multiple systems. The company will use government-appropriated funds to address joint coalition needs by focusing on expanding the timing, bandwidth services and management techniques in the U.S. Military.

EaglePicher, which has had a longtime collaboration with the U.S. government, will use the funding in the development of lithium-ion batteries. Funding will support research and development for new battery technologies.
