Bae Systems awarded new multi-year thermal weapon sight contract

— BAE Systems has received a US $183 million award for production of thermal weapon sights. The U.S. Army award includes increasing production rates to 3,000 per month.

The order is the first award under a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract that could reach $1 billion. The contract is managed by the Army¡¯s Program Executive Office Soldier at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

BAE Systems¡¯ microbolometer thermal imaging technology enables warfighters to see deep into the battlefield in all weather conditions, both day and night, and increases the warfighter¡¯s surveillance and target acquisition range.

¡°This contract is important for the warfighter,¡± said Bruce Zukauskas, director of thermal weapon sight programs for BAE Systems. ¡°The entire BAE Systems thermal weapon sight team is ready and committed to deliver sights to meet the Army¡¯s current and future requirements driven by the global war on terrorism.¡±

BAE Systems is already under contract to produce and deliver more than 29,600 Thermal Weapon Sites II (TWS-II). The five-year, $295 million contract is administered by the Communications-Electronics Command at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. To date, the company has delivered more than 11,000 TWS-II thermal weapon sights to meet critical Army fielding requirements in support of ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The TWS-II program produces sights for small-arms, surveillance and fire-control applications ranging from individual rifles to medium and heavy machine guns and mounted weapon systems. BAE Systems operates two microbolometer foundries and has delivered more than 50,000 microbolometer-based imagers to date.
