Contract Announcement
MCL contracted to supply further Hearing Protection and
Communication Ancillaries
to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD)
Cohort, the independent technology group, is pleased to announce
that its subsidiary MCL (Marlborough Communications Ltd) has been
awarded two contracts by the MOD to supply and support hearing
protection systems and communication ancillaries for land, maritime
and air applications, worth a combined GBP5.5 million. The two
orders comprise:
-- a follow-on order worth GBP3.2 million for Tactical Hearing
Protection Systems for Dismounted Close Combat Users (THPS DCCU)
that provide hearing protection for RAF, Royal Navy and Reservist
personnel;
-- a new contract to provide In Ear Communication Devices (IECD)
for RAF pilots and air crew, with an initial value of GBP2.3
million over five years with options for a further two years.
The contracts follow previous MOD contract awards for hearing
protection announced in 2015 and more recently in March 2017. The
THPS DCCU solution being supplied by MCL has been developed in
partnership with INVISIO Communications, a leading Danish audio
technology company, whilst the IECD for RAF and air crews is being
developed in conjunction with Banbury-based Advanced Communication
Solutions (ACS).
Andy Thomis, Chief Executive of Cohort, said:
"This is another great success for MCL, and its partners, in
hearing protection. These two further contracts bring the total
number of recent awards to four with a combined value to the Group
of around GBP30 million, further cementing MCL's position as the
MOD's leading supplier of hearing protection systems for the
military.
"This and other recent contract awards enhance the visibility of
future Group revenue".
