RTX awarded $117.5 million by US Army for advanced targeting sensor systems

RTX has been awarded a $117.5 million U.S. Army contract for low-rate initial production of 3rd Generation Forward Looking Infrared (3GEN FLIR) B-Kit sensors. Under the contract, RTX will deliver 3GEN FLIR B-Kit sensors for the United States Army’s combat platforms, which include the advanced Abrams Main Battle Tanks and an option for optionally manned fighting vehicles. The 3GEN FLIR B-Kit is platform agnostic, delivering a common operating picture for future combat ground vehicles. It also provides a significant standoff for target detection, recognition, and identification.
