Stockholm, October 19, 2015
INVISIO (IVSO) has, through its Australian partner Defcon Technologies Group, today been selected as the supplier of Combat Hearing Protection (CHP) systems for the Australian Department of Defence under the LAND 125 Soldier Modernisation Program for the Australian Army. The Standing Offer arrangement runs for five years, with options to extend it by up to four years. The initial order will be valued at approximately SEK 11 million to be delivered during the first half of 2016. A similar follow-on order is expected in the second half of 2016.
INVISIO and Defcon were awarded the contract to supply the Australian DoD with a combination of INVISIO S10 and V60 Hearing Protection Systems.
“INVISIO and Defcon have a long history of working together on supplying the Australian Army with communication solutions and we are of course very proud to have been awarded this important contract for the LAND 125 program. Our solutions provide unrivalled hearing protection, situational awareness and crystal clear communications. We look forward to working with Defcon and the Australian DoD over the coming years to deliver this product to Australian soldiers” comments Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO INVISIO.
The INVISIO S10 is a hearing protection and communication system for use on a single radio where INVISIO V60 is for use with multiple radios. Both systems consist of an in-ear hearing protection headset with a control unit housing the electronics for situational awareness and impulse noise protection. As part of the tender process both the INVISIO S10 and V60 have undergone rigorous testing and user trials and are proven to best meet the DoD’s requirements for a simple yet advanced solution that fully addresses the key issues surrounding hearing protection, situational awareness, clear communications, ease of use and comfort.
