CONTRACT WIN

 

MCL RECEIVES £12 MILLION IN ORDERS FROM UK MOD

 

 

Cohort plc, the AIM listed technology group, is pleased to announce that its
subsidiary Marlborough Communications Limited (MCL) has received two orders
from the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) for its long-term partner INVISIO's
hearing protection and communication ancillaries, for use on armoured fighting
vehicles and in dismounted close combat, one of the most demanding and
challenging noise environments within the UK military. Deliveries commence in
the second half of 2022 through to mid-2023.

 

The first order, which is valued at over £9 million, is for the INVISIO
V-Series Gen II platform for use on armoured fighting vehicles. The solution
offers the user efficient communication and unique dual hearing protection by
combining the in-service INVISIO X5 in-the-ear headset and its T7 over-the-ear
headset, which both connect to the INVISIO V60 control unit.

 

The second order is for further deliveries of INVISIO's Tactical Hearing
Protection System Dismounted Close Combat Users program (THPS DCCU). The THPS
DCCU provides superior hearing protection and enhanced situational awareness
for dismounted close combat personnel.

 

Andy Thomis, Cohort Chief Executive said, "These orders are a clear
demonstration of the strength of the 10-year partnership and collaboration
between MCL and INVISIO, and further cement MCL's position as the MOD's
leading supplier of innovative hearing protection systems, to protect UK
military personnel. Together with other recent contract wins across the Group,
these orders further strengthen our order book and enhance the visibility of
future revenues."
