VSI Awarded Contract from Boeing to Provide the JHMCS for F-15e

(San Jose, Calif., July 31, 2008) -- Vision Systems International, LLC (VSI), has been awarded an initial contract at more than $17 million from Boeing for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) in 145 F-15E Strike Eagles. The contract includes dual-seat capable JHMCS hardware and pilot equipment to include helmets and visors. Initial deliveries have already commenced and will continue through mid-2009.

"The situational awareness capabilities afforded by JHMCS in the air-to-ground mission environment are necessities given today's battlespace, and providing a dual-seat capability is phenomenally important," said VSI President Drew Brugal. "Getting our JHMCS on the Strike Eagle has been a key company goal since we started developing the system in 1996."
