Under terms of the agreement, Optex Systems will deliver a range of technologically advanced laser protected periscopes.

The U.S. Army's TACOM division is one of the Army's largest weapon systems research, development, and sustainment organizations.

With a workforce of over 18,000 worldwide, TACOM supports over 3,500 fielded systems and over 29,000 components that make those systems work. Specifically, TACOM's Rock Island's office, through which the award was granted, is responsible for the entire life cycle support of aircraft armament, small arms, field artillery, mortars, tools and training systems, tactical vehicles, light and heavy combat vehicles, watercraft, soldier/biological/chemical systems and deployment/support equipment.

Danny Schoening, COO of Optex Systems, commented, "Our entire organization is very excited about being awarded this multi-year contract by the U.S. Army's TACOM division. It's a testament to our dedication of providing superior mission critical components for the men and women in uniform who perform their jobs at the highest level of dependability and survivability."
