Production and assembly work for the thermal imaging cameras will be carried out at the Vologda optical and mechanical plant in central European Russia.
The cameras will be used in civilian applications, which include monitoring the efficiency of thermal insulation and the detection of heat leaks.
The communications equipment will also be installed on the Russian Army’s T-90 tanks and BMP-3 armoured personnel carriers.
