Palomar Display Products, Inc. announced October 12, 2017, that it has been awarded a firm fixed price contract totaling $5.3M to deliver military display systems for the M1 Abrams main battle tank of US Army.

Palomar Display Products is supplying the U.S. Army with the Binocular Image Control Unit (BICU) for armored combat vehicles like the M1 Abrams main battle tank.

The optically coupled display systems have been designed, tested and qualified for the M1 Abrams tank and will be installed on tanks delivered to the US and International customers. All deliveries under this contract will take place through 2018.

In addition, Palomar Display Products Inc.'s IDIQ (Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery) sole source contract with the US Army has been increased by $9.3M for a new maximum award ceiling of $37.9M.

“This significant order greatly contributes to our 2018 backlog,” stated Palomar Display Products President Paul Bell. “And the additional $9.3M increase to our IDIQ contract is a clear indication that our product offering will remain the backbone gunner’s thermal sight display for the M1 Abrams tank for years to come”.
