BEL, Textron Systems MoU for MicroObserver UGS System

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Textron Systems, a Textron Inc company, as a first step towards providing the Textron Systems MicroObserver unattended ground sensor (UGS) system to Indian security agencies.

The MicroObserver UGS system brings a new level of covertness, ease of use and performance for border security, surveillance and critical infrastructure protection missions. Textron Systems reports that its Micro Observer system has been fielded around the world in support of these applications.

“We’re looking forward to working with BEL to bring this critical surveillance system to the Indian Government agencies that will benefit from its wide range of proven capabilities,” explained Ian Walsh, Textron Defense Systems’ Senior Vice President and General Manager.

“Bharat Electronics Limited expects the benefits of this system to filter down to various agencies responsible for the management of the Indian borders, thus fulfilling its overall objective of bringing in cutting-edge technologies to India,” said P.C. Jain, Director (Marketing), BEL.
