Brother will supply optics for the Belgian military

The Lithuanian company Brolis has won a tender from the Belgian Ministry of Defence to supply advanced optical systems for infantry soldiers. The contract includes thermal imaging sights and rifle optics, with delivery scheduled for 2026–2027. The agreement covers thermal clip-on sights and low-power variable optics (LPVO) scopes equipped with miniature MRDS collimators. The contract is valued in millions of euros, though the buyer has not disclosed the number of units ordered. A key element of the offer is the Brolis DATS3 thermal sight, which received the highest rating in the evaluation process. The contract was awarded to the bid deemed most economically advantageous after a detailed technical and cost analysis. The Belgian armed forces have been using Brolis' laser target pointers since 2023. This new order extends the existing cooperation and fits into the long-term relationship between the company and the Belgian defence ministry. Brolis has been supplying advanced electro-optical solutions for infantry since 2014, with its systems used by military and security forces in 38 countries, including several NATO members. The manufacturer reports it has recently significantly increased production capacity in response to growing demand in the European market
