Cohort wins £10m Ministry of Defence contract

Technology firm Cohort has won a four-year, £9.9m contact from the Ministry of Defence to supply and support hearing protection systems and communication ancillaries for land, maritime and air applications.

The contract includes options for a one-year extension and a mid-life enhancement of the technology, which was developed in partnership with Invisio Communications, a Danish audio technology firm.

This contract builds on the AIM-listed company’s previous contracts with the MoD for hearing protection won in 2015.

Cohort chief executive Andy Thomis said: "We are delighted to be providing a system that has such a significant impact on both operational effectiveness and the long term health of our armed forces personnel. This and other recent contract awards enhance the visibility of future group revenue".
