The US Army Contracting Command has awarded a contract to Palomar Display Products to deliver military display systems for the M1A2 Abrams tank, the company announced on 29 September.

The firm fixed price contract is valued at $4.5 million. All deliveries, under the contract, will be made through 2016.

The thermal sight, optically coupled displays will be delivered to the US Army for an international customer. They are designed and qualified for the M1A2 Abrams tank.

Paul Bell, president, Palomar Display Products, said: ‘This repeat award contributes to our 2016 backlog. We were again selected to provide a critical component to the most advanced fighting vehicle in the world. This solidifies Palomar's position as the primary supplier of thermal sight displays for the US and International armoured vehicle market.’
