SCD, a global pioneer in defense InfraRed technology specialising in the development and manufacture of a wide range of cooled and uncooled infrared detectors and high-power laser diodes, announces it has secured contracts valued at over $40 million in Asia to supply a diverse range of advanced cooled MWIR (Medium-Wave Infrared) and LWIR (Long-Wave Infrared) detectors.
These detectors will be integrated into a variety of armoured Fighting vehicle applications, including gunner sights, commander sights, and remote weapon stations, supporting a major multi-phase modernisation program for armoured fleets in the region.
MWIR and LWIR detectors
These features are critical for extended-range target acquisition and situational awareness
SCD’s advanced MWIR and LWIR detectors are designed to give armoured vehicle crews a decisive operational advantage-enabling 24/7 at all whether detection, identification, and target classification even in the most challenging battlefield conditions.
This performance is powered by SCD’s advanced digital ROIC technology and includes proprietary Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) technology, which delivers outstanding sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio in the long-wave infrared spectrum.
These features are critical for extended-range target acquisition and situational awareness, helping operators distinguish between objects and threats at long distances and in degraded visibility scenarios.

SCD’s advanced digital ROIC detectors are engineered for simple system integration
SCD’s advanced digital ROIC detectors are engineered for simple system integration. Their flexible, modular design allows seamless integration into both modern and legacy armoured vehicle systems.
These advantages translate into high-resolution IR imaging, robust reliability, and enhanced survivability for ground forces operating in dynamic combat scenarios.
The contract, which spans three years, strengthens SCD’s long-standing partnerships with leading Asian defense OEM and highlights the company’s ability to deliver scalable, field-proven infrared solutions for large-scale defense programs.
Growing demand for infrared solutions
“This is a significant milestone for SCD, further demonstrating the growing demand for our advanced infrared solutions across the SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR spectrums,” said Shai Fishbein, VP of Business Development & Marketing at SCD.
“This contract highlights the technological maturity and field-proven performance of our detector families—particularly our proprietary T2SL-based cooled LWIR detectors, which deliver critical advantages in target recognition, even in the most challenging operational environments. We’re proud to support our Asian defense partners in enhancing their armoured fleet capabilities".
