🚀 Military optics form a crucial pillar of the Czech Optical Cluster, and several of our member companies are bringing significant innovations to the defense industry. 🌟 EVPÚ Defence, which focuses on the development, production, and servicing of electro-optical technologies for the defense and security industry, has seen significant growth in recent years, not only due to an expanding product portfolio but also due to the increasing volume of major contracts it successfully fulfills. 📈 The most significant news for EVPÚ Defence is the successful conclusion of several years of negotiations with Swedish BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, the manufacturer of the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle, which has led to the company's inclusion in the industrial cooperation program for the Czech contract for these vehicles. The Czech Army will have a total of seven versions of the CV90 (command, combat, reconnaissance, artillery observer, engineering, recovery, and medical). The combat, command, and reconnaissance versions of the vehicle will be equipped with the CMS-1 command sight from EVPÚ Defence, providing the vehicle commander with complete situational awareness on the battlefield in any tactical environment and under all weather and lighting conditions. #innovation #optics #defense #security #industrialcooperation
