08.17.2011– Montreal, QC, Canada – Revision, the global leader in
military protective eyewear solutions, announces its most recent
contract award: to supply the Germany military with their ballistic
eyewear needs through 2013. The project will see Revision deliver over
256,000 sets of the Sawfly Military Eyewear System for use by Army, Air
Force and Navy troops. Revision was selected as the sole-supplier for
this contract following a rigorous bid process and extensive in-service
user trials including in-theater use in Afghanistan.
“To have been selected as the standard issue brand following one of most rigorous bidding processes we’ve seen to date, is a testament to the people, processes and technologies that we employ to advance the science and performance of this vital piece of soldier equipment. We are proud to be the German military’s protective eyewear supplier of choice,” said Alex Hooper, Vice President, International Sales.
In pursuit of this business Revision developed a Germany-specific version of their flagship product, the Sawfly Military Eyewear System. For it, a new lens shape was designed and two specialty lens tints were developed: one for specific-wavelength laser eye protection and the second for high altitude mountain operations. The 256,000 standard issue kits, available in three sizes – small, medium and large, will include clear, solar and vermillion lenses. Additional quantities of laser protective lenses and Prescription (Rx) Carriers are also included in the contract award.
In addition to being the only eye protection supplier to Germany, Revision is the sole approved provider of ballistic eyewear to Canadian, British, Dutch, Belgian and Danish forces. The Revision Sawfly continues to be the most widely issued military spectacle amongst NATO nations, dominating the ballistic protective eyewear landscape worldwide.
