The Land Warrior product suite was originally developed as a man-portable power system to support an integrated, modular fighting system that uses technology to enhance individual soldier’s close combat tactical awareness, lethality and survivability.
It is part of the company’s SmartCircuit family of products delivering power solutions to customers who require advanced functionality and performance.
John Kavazanjian, president and chief executive officer of Ultralife, said: “As expected, the US military has rolled out the Land Warrior program again this year. This order reinforces how important system solutions are becoming not only to the defense market, but to all our markets.
“With our ability to provide power, charging, cabling – all tied together with smart circuitry, we are well positioned to capitalize on our industry leading expertise in providing unique total power solutions.”
Separately, Ultralife said that it has been awarded an indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) by the US Defense Logistics Agency with a total value of up to $26.9m over five years.
The contract calls for a one year base and four option years to meet demand from the US military for three battery types. The batteries are used in applications such as night vision goggles, SINCGARS radios and thermal weapons sights, among others.
DLA will release orders under the IDIQ to fulfill demand as necessary. The government has estimated the base year value of orders at $5.3m.
