Ascent Vision Gets $16M in DoD Contracts for Imaging Systems

Ascent Vision Technologies (AVT) has been awarded over $16 million in contracts by a non-disclosed US DoD customer to deliver its innovative, ground-based imaging systems.

The contracts were received over the last 60 days and include numerous units of the CM262 four sensor configuration imaging system and several units of the field-proven CM202U optic. These multi-mission systems will provide advanced Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Counter small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-sUAS) capabilities to combat forces.

The CM262 was launched two years ago to provide customers with improved situational awareness. The system is a full High Definition (HD) optic, combining four sensor configurations, a next-generation video processor and cutting-edge stabilization technologies. The CM262 is a compact, man-portable, 26-pound unit that features HD electro-optical, HD Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR), Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) and a laser range finder, enabling operators to achieve accurate target detection, recognition and identification at day and night.

The CM202U, originally designed for portable counter UAS missions, is a 12-pound optic that offers reliable target detection, recognition and identification with an HD electro-optical sensor and MWIR core. Since its successful introduction to the market three years ago, the CM202U has continued to be refined to offer a powerful solution for ISR and C-sUAS.
