EOSYSTEM showcases thermal imaging equipment at Indian defense exhibition

[Asia Economy Reporter Yang Nak-gyu] EOSYSTEM participated in the defense exhibition 'DEFEXPO 2020' held in Lucknow, India, from the 5th to the 8th.

According to EOSYSTEM on the 7th, more than 700 companies from over 30 countries worldwide participated in this exhibition. Thirteen domestic defense companies, including EOSYSTEM, set up booths totaling 530㎡ to promote their products.

India is the world's second-largest arms importer and the fourth-largest country in defense spending. Recently, the Indian government announced plans to invest $13 billion over the next 5 to 7 years for military modernization, which has led to active activities by domestic small and medium defense companies.

The equipment EOSYSTEM showcased at this exhibition was thermal imaging equipment. They exhibited thermal imaging scopes, as well as composite thermal imaging scopes capable of precise target coordinate acquisition and transmission for both day and night surveillance, and thermal imaging sights that enhance combat capabilities day and night through CMOS sensors and thermal imaging sensors.

Among EOSYSTEM's products, the 'thermal imaging surveillance equipment' is very effective for day and night surveillance in border areas. The sunglasses-type HMD (Head Mount Display) received favorable reviews from visitors. The 'driver's thermal periscope' is currently installed on many armored vehicles, including the K9 self-propelled howitzer in Korea, allowing the driver to operate even at night without light, attracting much interest in the Middle East as well.

Also, among the exhibits, the representative night equipment, the small monocular night vision device, is an essential defense item for securing night vision and urban combat operational capability in modern warfare. EOSYSTEM's monocular night vision device has been developed into an export model based on proven domestic performance.

Founded in 1979, EOSYSTEM is regarded as a company with the highest technology in the optical equipment field in Korea. It was designated as a defense company in 1984 and has supplied optical components and optical equipment to the military. They plan to target exports to Southeast Asia and South America with export-type night vision devices.

Ham Tae-heon, CEO of EOSYSTEM, said, "We are closely cooperating to participate in the large-scale night surveillance equipment and night sight acquisition projects promoted by the Indian military," adding, "We demonstrated technology that meets India's performance requirements at the exhibition."
