The American company EOTECH, known for making modern optical systems for the military and uniformed services, has announced the acquisition of VK Integrated Systems (VKIS), based in Tennessee. This strategic move is intended to strengthen EOTECH's position in the defense technology market and expand its operations beyond traditional optics towards integrated combat platforms.
VKIS, founded in 2014, specializes in the development of advanced electronics for weapons, sensor systems, and network solutions that increase soldiers' situational awareness. Its key products include, among others: SIOS and VICE modules, which provide real-time orientation and targeting data, as well as services related to the TAK (Team Awareness Kit) infrastructure – a digital platform used by the US Army to exchange information on the battlefield.
By joining forces, EOTECH will gain access to modern digital solutions that support the modernization of military systems in the United States and the development of C5ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) technologies. Both companies emphasize that the goal of the acquisition is to build a fully integrated American combat platform, combining hardware, software, and sensors into a single, coherent architecture that increases the effectiveness and safety of soldiers.
