Micropol delivers FALCON to the Royal Dutch Air Force, #Micropol

The first defence and trade agreement between the Netherlands and Sweden was signed already in 1614. Today we are pleased to announce that Micropol has been selected to provide the FALCON expanded beam system to the Royal Dutch Air Force. Much thanks to the exceptional optical performance of the FALCON, but also due to surveillance and communication specialist SurCom International, who are representing Micropol in the Netherlands.
