Bae Systems opens new sensor technology design center

— BAE Systems today opened a new 33,000-square-foot electro-optics and infrared (EO/IR) sensor technology design center. The facility will expand the company¡¯s ability to deliver its EO/IR sensor products to military forces around the world.

The EO/IR Design Center, at 12-18 Hartwell Ave., ¡°will be the source of future innovation at BAE Systems¡¯ infrared imaging business,¡± said Steve Jamison, BAE Systems vice president and general manager in Lexington. ¡°It will expand our capability to meet the current and future technology needs of our fighting men and women.¡±

Among the products that will be designed and tested at the new facility, which will employ 96 people, is BAE Systems¡¯ new Enhanced Night Vision Digital Goggle. The company is under contract with the U.S. Army to develop the helmet-mounted goggle, which converts infrared energy — heat radiated by people, vehicles, and other sources — to video images. The technology, which enables soldiers to ¡°see¡± through darkness, smoke, and other obscurants, is at the core of BAE Systems¡¯ Lexington product line.

¡°The facility¡¯s location provides for collaboration with our neighboring military facilities¡± — the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick and Hanscom Air Force Base — ¡°and is within driving distance of our many suppliers in Massachusetts and New Hampshire,¡± Jamison said. ¡°As we continue to grow our business, this will mean more high-quality jobs throughout the region.¡±

Massachusetts Rep. Jay Kaufman attended the event, along with representatives from the offices of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, and other state and local officials.
