Exelis Teams with Indian Firm on Night Vision Manufacturing

ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) is partnering with an Indian aerospace firm to support third-generation night vision requirements for India, the company announced Thursday.

The McLean, Va.-based defense technology firm will provide Tata Advanced Systems with image intensifier kits, tubes and other materials for building the night vision systems.

Tata will then manufacture the devices and the systems will be distributed to customers across India.

The Army ordered image intensifier tubes and night vision goggles from Exelis earlier this week.

Those tubes are slated to be sold to an international customer through a foreign military sales agreement.

The Army also ordered 500 tubes in February under the OMNI VIII contract.
