BAE Systems said today it has received a $15 million contract to provide thermal imaging sights to the US Army.
BAE Systems is a British defense and aerospace company with a big presence in Lexington.
Under a five-year contract with a potential value of up to $200 million, BAE Systems said it will manufacture and deliver up to 6,500 TIM1500 thermal sights to the supplier of the Army's Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station II.
"TIM1500 provides a critical imaging capability to the US Army's weapon station of choice for ground vehicles," BAE Systems deputy program director Michael Mawn said in a statement.
