Thales will equip South Korea's light attack helicopter with the Scorpion helmet-mounted sight and display monocular system, the company announced Wednesday.

Thales will provide 400 Scorpion systems which will be installed on the helicopters in the early 2020s, Thales said in a statement.

Prime contractor Korea Aerospace Industries selected Thales at the end of an open competition.

The amount of the contract was not disclosed.

Korea's light armed helicopter program represents 200 aircraft.

Scorpion's Hybrid Optical-based Inertial Tracking, or HObIT, head tracking system provides accurate, reliable and non-intrusive cockpit integration.

It's the only full-color display on the market using a single display for day and night, while offering a smooth transition between day and night mode, Thales said.

Scorpion is fully compatible with any standard night vision goggle.
