Leonardo DRS wins $63M U.S. Army thermal sight order

Leonardo DRS received a $63 million US Army production order for its Family of Weapon Sights–Individual thermal sights, announced on October 13, 2026. Placed under an existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, the order supports lightweight, uncooled infrared sights that wirelessly connect to ENVG-B goggles and the Integrated Visual Augmentation System. Soldiers can view the sight's thermal image through a helmet-mounted display for rapid target acquisition without necessarily shouldering the weapon. The clip-on configuration supports multiple weapon platforms and day-or-night observation of heat signatures, while the announcement does not specify the number of sights ordered or their delivery timetable.
