Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC) announced today it has received a $40 million contract award for the multi-year production of digital night vision cameras in support of the U.S. Government.
“With this new order and increased backlog, we now have multi-year visibility for our manufacturing operations, and continued validation of our digital night vision technology.”
“This award represents the largest single booking to date for Intevac Photonics, and increases our Photonics backlog to the historic level of just over $83 million,” commented Timothy Justyn, executive vice president and general manager of Intevac Photonics. “This award closely follows awards for both the U.S. Army's IVAS ground soldier program, and the Apache Helicopter's Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVS) foreign military sales announced last December, demonstrating Intevac's commitment to delivering the latest digital night vision technology to our Warfighters.”
“We are very proud to have received this substantial order for our digital night vision technology,” added Wendell Blonigan, president and chief executive officer of Intevac. “With this new order and increased backlog, we now have multi-year visibility for our manufacturing operations, and continued validation of our digital night vision technology.”

Les 27 pays de l'Union européenne ont « acté le besoin de dépenser davantage et d'investir davantage » dans le domaine de la Défense, a annoncé le président français, Emmanuel Macron, à l'issue du Conseil européen qui s'est tenu les 30 et 31 mai. « Nous avons acté que notre Europe avait besoin, comme nous le faisons depuis cinq ans avec le Fonds européen de défense, de s'équiper davantage, d'acheter davantage et de construire une base industrielle plus forte. Cet argent que nous allons déployer doit s'accompagner d'une stratégie industrielle car il ne s'agit pas d'aller acheter des équipements qui sont faits ailleurs. Construire notre souveraineté, c'est aussi b'tir des équipements qui sont faits par les Européens pour les Européens », a déclaré le chef de l'Etat français. Le président du Conseil italien, Mario Draghi, a regretté que les Européens importent les deux tiers de leurs armes, insistant sur la nécessité d'une réciprocité dans les achats et appelant à « coordonner ce type d'importations d'une manière ou d'une autre ». Les dirigeants européens ont notamment validé un instrument de soutien doté de 500 M€ pour la période 2023 et 2024, qui sera créé d'ici à l'été pour des achats ciblés d'armements destinés à protéger l'UE. Le rôle de la Banque européenne d'investissement, notamment, doit aussi être renforcé à l'appui de la politique de sécurité et de Défense européenne. La Tribune et Le Figaro du 1er juin
