NEWTOWN, Conn. - According to a newly updated report from Forecast International, the Sagem Defense electro-optical multifunction system (EOMS) should see steady production over the next several years driven by the naval surveillance needs of a number of client nations. Sagem recently introduced a new version, the EOMS NG, which reportedly takes advantage of the latest advances in infrared technology. In February 2014 the French defense procurement agency (DGA) announced its choice of Sagem to modernize the optronic systems on four Horizon and Cassard class air defense frigates in the French Navy. Production for the United Arab Emirates is expected to remain steady over the next several years. The country's six Baynunah class corvettes are each equipped with two EOMSs.
