BAE Systems to Supply Thermal Sights for U.S. Army Weapon Program

BAE Systems has received a $15 million contract to provide thermal imaging sights for the U.S. Army's Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station II (CROWS) program.

Under the five-year contract, which has a potential value of up to $200 million, BAE Systems will manufacture and deliver up to 6,500 TIM1500 thermal sights to Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace AS, supplier of the CROWS II system. The CROWS II program has a maximum order quantity of 6,500 remote weapon stations. Production deliveries will begin in early 2008.

"TIM1500 provides a critical infrared imaging capability to the U.S. Army's weapon station of choice for ground vehicles," said Michael Mawn, deputy program director for BAE Systems' TIM1500 program. "The TIM1500 gives the warfighter a significant battlefield advantage."

The TIM1500 improves situational awareness and gives the ability to carry out target acquisition and surveillance at extended ranges. It can be installed on any U.S. Army ground vehicle.
