INVISIO will supply its INVISIO V60 communication and hearing protection system to an unnamed NATO country’s army under an order announced on 17 October.
The order will see the company provide additional INVISIO V60 units to those delivered under a contract placed by the customer in late 2012. Delivery under this contract will take place during the fourth quarter of 2013.
INVISIO V60 is an advanced communication and hearing protection system for modern military forces. The solution provides the user with a very light, compact and flexible communication system with built-in hearing protection and hear-through, which enables 360-degree situational awareness.
Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO, INVISIO Communications, said: ‘We are very happy that the customer acquires additional systems to an increased number of users. The new order is an acknowledgment of the fact that our solution functions very well and meets the most demanding users’ needs and requirements.’
The armoured vehicles are fitted with 12.7mm heavy machine guns and came off the production line with specific Estonian requirements. Only the communications subsystems and some other minor equipment were added to vehicles in Estonia.
The newly disclosed Thales UK Vehicle Mounted SquadNet Radio (VMSR) offers full interoperability with the soldier radio variant to provide secure and reliable voice connection.
Full electrification of their land and air vehicles may be beyond modern militaries for now. But how close are they to the tipping point of the widespread use of electric vehicles?
The contract follows news released in 2023 that a first customer had taken into service Pearson Engineering’s new Slice system enabling the interoperability of Front-End Equipment (FEE) between main battle tanks and dedicated engineering vehicles.
When compared to some other wheeled artillery systems Archer has the advantage of quicker deployment and relocation as the complete fire mission is carried out without the crew leaving the protected cab at the front.
The system had been previously proven to work against rotary and fixed-wing kamikaze drones, with Aselsan now working on new capabilities for Gökberk to counter UAV swarms.
