SCD Secures Over $40 Million Asia Contracts for Diverse Infrared Detectors in Multiple Armored Fighting Vehicle Applications
Multi-year order includes a broad portfolio of advanced MWIR and LWIR detectors for gunner and commander sites, and remote weapon stations
SCD, a global leader in defense InfraRed technology specializing in the development and manufacture of a wide range of cooled and uncooled infrared detectors and high-power laser diodes, announces it has secured a contracts valued at over $40 million in Asia to supply a diverse range of advanced cooled MWIR (Medium-Wave Infrared) and LWIR (Long-Wave Infrared) detectors. These detectors will be integrated into a variety of armored Fighting vehicle applications, including gunner sights, commander sights, and remote weapon stations, supporting a major multi-phase modernization program for armored fleets in the region.
SCD's advanced MWIR and LWIR detectors are designed to give armored vehicle crews a decisive operational advantage-enabling 24/7 at all whether detection, identification, and target classification even in the most challenging battlefield conditions. This performance is powered by SCD's advanced digital ROIC technology and includes proprietary Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) technology, which delivers outstanding sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio in the long-wave infrared spectrum. These features are critical for extended-range target acquisition and situational awareness, helping operators distinguish between objects and threats at long distances and in degraded visibility scenarios.
SCD's advanced digital ROIC detectors are engineered for simple system integration. Their flexible, modular design allows seamless integration into both modern and legacy armored vehicle systems. These advantages translate into high-resolution IR imaging, robust reliability, and enhanced survivability for ground forces operating in dynamic combat scenarios.
The contract, which spans three years, strengthens SCD's long-standing partnerships with leading Asian defense OEM and highlights the company's ability to deliver scalable, field-proven infrared solutions for large-scale defense programs.
"This is a significant milestone for SCD, further demonstrating the growing demand for our advanced infrared solutions across the SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR spectrums," said Shai Fishbein, VP of Business Development & Marketing at SCD. "This contract highlights the technological maturity and field-proven performance of our detector families—particularly our proprietary T2SL-based cooled LWIR detectors, which deliver critical advantages in target recognition, even in the most challenging operational environments. We're proud to support our Asian defense partners in enhancing their armored fleet capabilities".
