Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
Palomar Display Products has received three contracts for the delivery of display systems for the M1 Abrams tank, M2/M3 Bradley fighting vehicle and Light Armored Vehicle, the company announced on 15 February.
The contracts have a total combined value of more than $8.7 million.
The optically coupled display systems - designed, tested and qualified by the company - will be installed on the vehicles delivered to the US and international customers.
Deliveries of display systems will take place through 2018 and 2019.
Paul Bell, president, Palomar Display Products, said: ‘The recurring selection of Palomar Display Products to provide gunners displays to the most advanced fighting vehicles in the world highlights Palomar's long term position as the principal supplier of thermal sight displays for the US and international armoured vehicle market.
‘Furthermore, these awards underscore the importance of decade's long service and support we have been providing to our customers and user community worldwide.’
