Lewis Machine & Tool and Visible Assets Awarded €22 Million Estonian Defense Forces Contract
16,000 automatic weapons with integrated RuBee wireless Weapon Shot Counters — optionally rising to 25,000.
STRATHAM, N.H. — Visible Assets, Inc., a Defense/Industrial Internet of Things company, was awarded — after a competitive bidding process — a contract with partner Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT Defense) for 16,000 automatic weapons with integrated RuBee wireless Weapon Shot Counter (WSC) tags, UID tracking, and security tags, supplied to the Estonian Defense Forces between 2019 and 2021.
The contract also includes Visible handheld Javelin readers plus Allegro 20/20 analytics and weapon-maintenance software; optional Armory 20/20 software provides automatic wireless weapon audits by reading the WSC tags. An additional optional 9,000 weapons with integrated WSC tags may be supplied over 2021–2026, for a total of up to 25,000 units.
The combination of the LMT automatic firearm and RuBee WSC tags offers advantages no RF system can match: the patented Visible custom waveform-analyzer chip achieves 98–100% shot-counting accuracy, with no compromising emanations and no radio direction-finding target on the battlefield.
