The AIM-traded firm said the contracts involved new partnerships with IAI ELTA Systems in unmanned ground vehicles, and Rohde and Schwarz in the area of electronic intelligence.
Deliveries would start in the company’s current financial year and continue through into 2022, with the majority of revenue falling in the 2022 financial year.
“These contract wins clearly demonstrate the important role MCL plays in partnering with key technology providers to supply unique products and services for UK defence,” said chief executive officer Andy Thomis.
“Together with other recent contract wins across the group, these contracts further strengthen our order book and enhance the visibility of our revenues in this financial year and beyond.”
