Aktelux Corp. (a subsidiary of Luxell Technologies, TSX:LUX) announced today that it had been chosen by GeneralDynamics Canada of Ottawa, Ontario to design and develop a variant of its latest generation 3ATI display for use as a Threat Warning Indicator (TWI).
The devices will be used for the Canadian Department of National Defence Maritime Helicopter Project, which will require some 60 of these units.
This award was made by General Dynamics Canada who has the responsibility, under an agreement with MHP prime contractor Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., to integrate the multi-sensor mission systems into Sikorsky H-92 helicopters, designated the CH148 Cyclone by the Canadian Forces. The systems will support maritime missions that include surface and subsurface surveillance, personnel recovery (search and rescue), and drug interdiction. The displays selected offer forward growth capabilities, incorporating a broad
range of software controllable features, which will enable their ready adaptation as the diversity of missions expands for the Cyclone platform.
Louis Joubert, Aktelux President commented on the award, “The Company has worked very hard to ensure that its 3ATI product family represents state-of-the art performance, matched to a highly competitive price. Securing a place on this prestigious platform is sound confirmation that we have done our job well. From here, we anticipate securing other significant programs, based upon the same technology and expertise.”
