The U.S. Army has awarded BAE Systems a potential seven-year, $384 million contract to produce a thermal weapon sight technology that will work to help soldiers identify and engage targets in the battlefield.
BAE said Wednesday the military branch ordered the company’s Family of Weapon Sights“Crew Served system comprised of high-resolution sensors with a laser range-finder and designed to transmit real-time imagery wirelessly to a helmet-mounted display.
