The contract was won against international competition from listed companies such as FLIR, Thales and other Israeli bidders. The Indian startup will be in charge of manufacturing and deploying night vision, thermal imaging and longrange surveillance systems.The total order value of $25 million will be executed over the next two years.
According to Economic Times, Arvind Lakshmikumar, CEO, Tonbo Imaging said that along with the electro-optics systems, we have the opportunity to offer radars and other equipment as well.
While the customers want a different radar manufactured by the US, the startup has been pushing for the use of BEL radars, he said.
Partners like Altus LSA act as prime integrators of Tonbo Systems for European and African markets.
