INVISIO has received a follow-up order for 40 Intercom systems by a European NATO country.
The Swedish company described the order, worth more than $1 million, as the first ‘somehwat substantial’ commercial follow-on order for its Intercom system, thereby playing a significant role in the future marketing of the system.
The 40 Intercom systems will be mounted in light transport vehicles, to enable effective internal communication while travelling, as the customer requested.
INVISIO CEO, Lars Højgård Hansen, said the customer operates ‘in the most challenging environments and with the highest requirements regarding equipment is choosing our Intercom system’.
The company is currently involved in several evaluation projects with different customers, such as Zodiac, and SkyRunner which will use the system in RIB boats and ultralight aircraft.
The Intercom system has also been certified by several customers for use in Black Hawk helicopters and is already in use today in live environments.

Air defence and counter-drone weapons continue to be developed, tested and demonstrated in anticipation of growing demand, with most solutions designed to be platform-agnostic and readily integrated onto suitable platforms.
The US Army began its search for a 155mm tracked mobile tactical cannon in an effort that Shephard forecasts could be worth billions of dollars. Meanwhile, the UK DVD exhibition saw companies showcase their offerings for the British Army’s mobility and air defence requirements.
The development demonstrates how the platform could provide additional firepower and growth potential while the US Army progresses its long-term replacement for the Bradley.
