Petards, the AIM quoted developer of advanced security, communication and surveillance systems, announces that its subsidiary, Petards Joyce-Loebl (PJL), has received orders worth over £0.9 million for its Rail and Defence systems.

In Rail, PJL has received an award of over £0.5 million for eyeTrain systems for customer retrofit to its train fleet. These additional train sets of equipment and related engineering services follow on from orders supplied by PJL in the past which were fitted to other elements of the same fleet.

First deliveries are scheduled to be made later this year and the project is expected to be completed during 2027.

In Defence, PJL has secured an order for £0.4 million from a UK prime defence contractor for the supply of Petards proprietary safety equipment for use in military aerospace applications.

Delivery of this order is scheduled to be completed during 2026.

Commenting on the awards, Petards Chairman Raschid Abdullah said;

“We are delighted to have secured both these contracts which add to Petards order book in support of its revenues for both the current and the next financial years.

“It was particularly pleasing to see another eyeTrain retrofit opportunity come to fruition following the improvement in trading seen at Petards Rail that was reported for 2025.”
