The Canadian defense firm has won a contract to deliver prototypes of its advanced Battlefield Laser Detection System (BLDS) to a leading North American armored vehicle program—a key step toward expanding its operational use.
The BLDS system gives troops instant warnings when they are in the crosshairs of laser-based threats, including laser target designators, range finders, and beam-riding weapons.
