ATLANTA, Nov. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Video Display Corporation (Nasdaq:VIDE), a worldwide leader in providing specialized display solutions for Broadcast, Industrial, Simulation and Defense applications, today announced that its Cape Canaveral based VDC Display Systems, Inc. has been selected as the supplier of the Video Display Units (VDU) for the U.S. Army Common Driver Training (CDT) by Raydon Corporation of Port Orange, FL.
As part of this effort, VDCDS will provide Raydon with a High Resolution Visual Display System (HRVDS) that meets and exceeds the requirements for CDT systems for Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Variants, MRAP mobile and fixed systems, and Tank Engineering vehicle variants for the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentations (PEO STRI).

"We at VDC are extremely pleased to have been selected by Raydon Corporation to supply the display system for this very important program," said Mr. Ron Ordway, Video Display Corporation CEO and Chairman.
"VDC is gratified to be part of the team and appreciate Raydon's confidence in selecting VDCDS for this program.
