BAE Systems yesterday said it was awarded another task order, for a cumulative total of more than $140 million, to produce the DriverÂ’s Vision Enhancer Family of Systems (DVE-FOS), a system of infrared sensors that provide 24-hour all-weather visibility for Army and Marine drivers.
BAE has received cumulative orders for the DVE-FOS under a five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with the Army, resulting in the delivery of more than 3,500 systems and more than 26,000 line replaceable units, the company said in a statement.
The Army acts as the acquisition authority to procure DVE systems for installation on a variety of combat and tactical wheeled vehicles for the Army and Marines.
“We are applying our low-cost, high-volume production expertise to rapidly deploy technologies that truly meet the needs of our warfighters,” said Greg Zito, director for the DVE-FOS program in Austin, Texas, where the system is built.
DVE-FOS is a comprehensive suite of infrared sensors, displays, vehicle integration kits, and other equipment that enhances situational awareness by providing all-weather, day-or-night visibility to operators of combat and logistics vehicles.
