Kappa Optronics has been awarded a contract by GDELS-Mowag to equip 59 PIRANHA IV 8×8 wheeled armoured vehicles with Driver Vision Enhancer (DVE) systems, Kappa writes in a press release. According to the company, the new development will be based on Kappa’s ARMOR EYE driver vision enhancer concept, which is scalable and adaptable to customer needs. Latency-free driver vision and crew views in all directions, integrated image fusion and freely definable views for different operational roles are said to be key features of this technology. The jointly developed systems will be fully integrated with the vehicle architecture and are designed to ensure safe driving hatch down and optimum performance in the field, Kappa emphasises.
