Safran Vectronix AG (a subsidiary of Safran Electronics & Defense) announced on 14 June at Eurosatory 2018 that it has been selected by the Netherlands Defense Materiel Organisation (DMO) as part of its Thermal Hendheld Imaging System (THIS) programme.

Safran is tasked with delivery of more than 1,000 next-generation MOSKITO TI lightweight uncooled thermal imaging and targeting systems. These are destined for use across the Dutch armed forces, including special forces units.
