Exosens Secures Record Contract with Czech Army Until 2032

Largest Czech Supply Program for Image Intensifier Tubes

The contract between Exosens and Brolis pertains to the supply of high-performance image intensifier tubes to the Czech armed forces. This agreement represents the largest supply program ever initiated by the Czech Republic in this field. Deliveries will be staggered until 2032, providing the French group with multi-year financial visibility. Brolis acts as a defense systems integrator, while Exosens will supply the critical optical components aimed at upgrading the night vision capabilities of Czech military personnel, particularly for infantry in operation.

Strengthened Position with NATO and European Autonomy

This order strengthens Exosens's position as a trusted supplier to NATO forces. The French group, based in Mérignac, stands out for its imaging components exempt from ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) constraints, thus meeting the demands of European technological sovereignty. The agreement is part of a strategy to strengthen the European defense technological and industrial base. By relying on components manufactured in Europe, the program supports the continent's strategic autonomy in the face of increasing defense modernization needs among NATO member countries.

Increased Defense Investments in Europe and EIB Funding

The contract reflects a growing demand for night vision capabilities within European armed forces, driven by rising defense budgets. Exosens, which employs over 2,000 staff across 12 sites in Europe and North America, is strengthening its presence in a market supported by prolonged investments in military modernization. This signing comes a week after the announcement of a €140 million credit facility obtained from the European Investment Bank (EIB), thus structuring the group's financing around its production capabilities in critical imaging and detection technologies.
