Teen solves centuries-old math problem
ROANOKE, Va., Sept. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted ITT Corp. for the company's night-vision monocular technologies in support of military training and combat operations.
Virginia-based ITT was awarded $153 million from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Acquisition Center. The deal, part of the Omnibus VII contracting vehicle, is for ITT's AN/PVS-14 night-vision monoculars.
ITT's AN/PVS-14 system is a handheld, head- or weapon-mounted technology giving soldiers the ability to see during difficult lighting situations in combat zones.
"The Omnibus VII contract has been a pivotal tool for the Army to equip every serving unit with crucial night-vision technology in support of night and low-light missions," Mike Hayman, ITT Night Vision president and general manager, said in a statement.
"We are pleased to receive this latest order, and are proud to support our nation's protectors."
