Controp, Defsys sign agreement
A new cooperation agreement signed between Controp and Indian company Defsys Solutions will see Controp’s electro-optical (EO) payloads produced and marketed in India by Defsys for the local market.
Controp will be looking to tap into the significant potential it sees in the Indian market for its gyro-stabilised EO/IR camera payloads for UAS, helicopters and maritime platforms, and its intruder detection systems.
Dror Sharon, president and CEO, Controp, said: ‘We are delighted to partner with the Indian company, Defsys, a supplier of electro-optic solutions to the Indian Ministry of Defense. The company has very advanced manufacturing facilities that will allow us to produce our products in India, and thus meet the 'Make in India' policy promoted by the Indian government.
‘Controp has been active in India for more than 10 years. There is a significant need in India for our extremely popular intruder detection systems and camera payloads, which their unique technology characteristics make them good value for money solutions.’
