In addition, the collaboration with Thomas Global Systems will help support Safran’s future submarine activities. This expands on the agreement signed between the firms earlier this year for production of the PASEO sighting system for Land 400 and 907 programmes.

The partnership has been extended to involve production of hardware for Safran’s naval systems, including submarine optronics and navigation solutions.

These two agreements will help reinforce the company’s two major strategies. The first is to expand the local subsidiary SEDA, while the second is to partner with Australian companies to facilitate the exchange of technology to enhance the country’s defence industry capabilities.
