THEON Sensors is already active in the region of Latin America, having received orders by the Chilean Army. In May 2005, THEON Sensors presented their night vision sights to their Representatives of FAMAE, the governmental factories of the Chilean Army. The sights were tested in the field and their high performance and quality were verified. Following these field trials, THEON received orders from the Chilean Army, for the supply of night vision weapon sights as well as night vision driver's viewers. These specific orders are of great importance as the Chilean Army is considered as the most organized and serious Army in the Latin-American region. |
