The order in the single-digit million euro range has been received from a leading German systems company in the area of security and defense technology. The series production units for the mirror head are part of the Leopard 2 gunner's targeting device. They help to stabilize the field of vision when the tank is moving over uneven terrain.
"Jenoptik has been a key supplier of subsystems and components for military land vehicles such as the Leopard 2 for many years", says Jenoptik CEO Michael Mertin. "The order for the Leopard series once again shows that our solutions are at the cutting edge of technology."
Jenoptik had already announced a major order for the Defense & Civil Systems division in June 2013. This involved the delivery of NYXUS BIRD thermal imaging target acquisition systems to upgrade the equipment used by the German Armed Forces.
