Norway and Denmark join military-optronics cooperation

In addition to Finland and Sweden, Norway and Denmark have now joined the framework agreement on military optronics.

Finland and Sweden have already signed framework agreement with Senop in November 2024 under a previous military-optronics executive document. Norway and Denmark joining the military-optronics procurement cooperation enables the countries to acquire a fast and cost-effective way to acquire performance that maintains and improves the combat capabilities of soldiers.

The military optronics framework agreement covers several products in the Senop optronics product range, such as night vision goggles, target acquisition and observation devices and intelligent fire control systems. 

According to Aki Korhonen, President of Senop, the accession of Norway and Denmark to the military optronics framework agreement will further deepen Nordic defence cooperation. This will strengthen the countries' defence forces' interoperability and security of supply.  The framework agreement also enables cost-effective joint procurement by the countries.

“We are very proud to be able to contribute to the night combat capability of the Nordic countries,” continues Korhonen.

The ability to operate in all visibility conditions is one of the key factors on the battlefield. Markus Laakkonen, Head of Sales and Marketing at Senop, emphasizes that the equipment used must be durable, high-performance and lightweight. In addition, the ergonomics and ease of use of night vision devices must be top notch.

“For example, the Senop EVA M night vision goggle has utilized the latest aspherical lenses and composite technology, which offers an excellent opportunity to develop lighter product structures, says Laakkonen.
