$3.5 Million Settlement reached to resolve False Claims Act Allegations against Indal Technologies Inc

Settlement Amount: 
$3,500,000

A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Indal Technologies Inc.

The allegations arose from a lawsuit that claimed Indal Technologies Inc knowingly sold defective helicopter landing systems designed for U.S. Navy destroyers.

Allegedly, Indal Technologies substituted a less-expensive type of steel used in helicopter landing systems for U.S. Navy destroyers.

 “When government contractors supply our armed forces with equipment that fails to meet performance standards, they not only cheat taxpayers, but they put at risk the safety of our service members,” said Assistant Attorney General Joseph H. Hunt of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division. “Today’s settlement demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that the military receives products that meet its requirements and for which it has paid.”

Since the 1970s, Indal Technologies has produced the RAST system attached to the US Navy’s Arleigh-Burke class destroyers to allow helicopters to land on them.

According to the government, the claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only, there has been no determination of liability.
