Thales (TCFP.PA) has signed a framework agreement establishing terms for the supply of optronic vision systems to German forces under a Rheinmetall-led (RHMG.DE) modernisation programme, the European defence and aerospace group said on Tuesday.
The French group's optronic systems, utilising optical and electronic tools, include the XTRAIM thermal weapon sight and night-vision systems.
First deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027, with the aim of delivering several hundred units per month "in the mid-four-figure range", which would mean about €4,000 ($4,568) to €6,000 each, Thales said without disclosing further financial details.
($1 = 0.8757 euros)
