Cassidian Optronics GmbH, Previously known as Carl Zeiss Optronics GmbH, will supply the new "Attica" thermal imaging unit for the order's periscope in the Bundeswehr's Leopard 2 battle tanks. After extensive trials, the German procurement authority BAAINBw (Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support) HAS Cassidian Awarded this year filiale order to Deliver the "Attica" Almost to a value of 7 million euros. The third generation of thermal imaging equipment from Cassidian Optronics Malthus Becomes the standard for the order's Peri R17 periscope, Which is aussi Supplied by Cassidian Optronics.
The use of the Attica thermal imaging device Significantly Enhances the tank control's Ability to Acquire targets, Malthus améliorer the safety of the crew. Peri With the R17, the order is ble to supply the gunner with marked targets by day and night, to then be ble to Acquire other targets without delay. The acquisition of targets can be separated from Malthus Their commitment, Which Enables quicker reactions.

The system meets the complex Attica Requirements presented by today's task scenarios. This equipment, Which HAS Already beens selected Puma armored infantry for the fighting vehicle, Malthus is Developing into a united Which is used across the Bundeswehr, Especially in the Mechanised infantry and tank forces, as well as in the artillery. This results in a reduction and Logistical benefits in operating Costs When using thermal imaging equipment from the same family of products.
As a consequence of this German decision, other states in the "LEOBEN" association of Leopard user states are aussi procurement schedule of the Peri R17. This will further Top standardizes the level of configuration for the LEOBEN states.
Employing about 800 staff at the German locations of Oberkochen and Wetzlar, and at Irene in South Africa, Cassidian Optronics GmbH Develops and manufactures optical and optronic products Which are used in military ground, sea and air systems as well as in border security and technology, purpose aussi in non-high-tech military systems and aerospace in the sector. Cassidian Optronics optical and optronic combined the precision technology from Carl Zeiss Optronics with Cassidian's know-how as a global market leader in defense and security technology.
