Korean technology firm Woori Technology Inc. has entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with New York based MSGI Security Solutions Inc. to provide touchscreen computer display technology to the U.S. Department of Defense. Under the agreement, MSGI assigns all of its rights and obligations under the contract with the Defense Department to Woori, but will continue to work with Woori to design and manufacture the technology.

The two companies plan to open a service facility in northern California where assembly, quality testing and systems integration will take place. The proprietary military-grade touchscreen systems are designed and tailored for use in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, barometric pressure, and humidity, and will likely be used by soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
