Rocky Hill-based Axsys Technologies Inc. has received an $11.3 million infrared lens order for the U.S. Army’s Thermal Weapon Sight II Bridge program.
The order is expected to ship throughout 2008.
“TWS is a marquis program for Axsys,” Stephen W. Bershad, chairman and CEO of Axsys Technologies, said in a statement. “Since 2005, Axsys has delivered over $18 million of lenses to the U.S. military’s leading supplier of these weapon sights. This order confirms the importance of infrared technology to the modern military, and Axsys’ increasingly prominent role in military transformation.”
