Optex general manager and CEO Danny Schoening said the upgrade on the sighting system apparatus will use digital day and night (DDAN) technology.

The technology will provide high definition digital video output for both day use and third generation 18mm image intensified technology for night use, Schoening added.

Deliveries under the $7.8m award are expected to begin in mid-2012.
