BANC3 has won a contract from the US army research, development and engineering command covering low profile displays and lightweight imaging sensors, the company announced on 9 February.
Under the $35 million contract, BANC3 will deliver technical research, development and engineering services for next-generation mission-based solutions. These solutions include the low profile displays and lightweight sensors components technology programme in the visible/near infrared portions of the electro-magnetic spectrum.
BANC3 will develop small, lightweight direct/indirect view imaging sensors, digital image processors, micro-display technology, digital image processors and corresponding software and advanced laser technology. It will also offer its services for the Small Tactical Optical Ranging Module (STORM), grenadier laser range finder II, handheld optical augmentation programme and the STORM pre-planned product improvement (P3I).
The company will help C4ISR systems and system integration programmes develop and maintain critical infrastructure for the implementation of best-of-breed warfighting capabilities. These include the migration of CPOF/JBC-P into the COE, mission command on the move, assured position, navigation, and timing, and others.
