Broader vision.

Known for its airport security checkpoint machines, OSI Systems Inc. is also making a name for itself on the battlefield.

The Hawthorne-based company received a $14 million contract last week from EDO Corp., a New York-based weapons maker, for the manufacture of electronic subassemblies

"The contract underscores our capabilities in electronics manufacturing and our commitment to this important national security program," said Manoocher Mansouri, president of the company's optoelectronics and manufacturing division, in a statement.

The contract follows previous deals of $5 million and $22.1 million for work on the systems.

OSI recently won contracts from the Transportation Security Administration for its airport security technology, including X-ray machines and "backscatter" imaging systems used to inspect passengers.

The company last week also unveiled a version of its millimeter-wave imaging device used in airports that detects concealed weapons, explosives, liquids or other substances.

Shares of OSI closed $25.03 on Oct. 31, up nearly a quarter since the beginning of the year.
