The Defence Technological and Industrial Bases is indispensable for maintaining peace and security. After all, it provides an armed force with services and equipment. If it does not, the armed forces are left hobbled. This also applies to the Dutch armed forces. Nevertheless, the defence and security sector is experiencing difficulties in accessing private finance. Referring to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, companies in the sector would not be able to access private financing from pension institutions, insurers and financial service providers. Because of the same criteria, the sector is experiencing difficulties in opening accounts with private banks. Below is summary on the current state of the issue.

SAF-FIRES™ is a standards-based, image generator agnostic, and scalable Call-For-Fire and Close Air Support training simulation with autonomous Smart Trainer suitable for deployment in Joint Fires and accreditable JTAC training simulators. Built upon the same Call-For-Fire and Close Air Support software engine that powers the accredited simulation Fires FST™, SAF-FIRESTM delivers the same mature and complete Joint Fires training solution but makes it available for integration with any DIS, HLA or CIGI compatible simulation or Image Generator. Supporting both conventional near-peer and counter-insurgency operational scenarios, SAF-FIRES™ enables JFOs and JTACs to train realistically in a modern complex battlespace against an agile and adaptive adversary. Heightened realism and cognitively challenging training are enabled through the incorporation of non-combatants, urban clutter, UAV surveillance, various close air support platforms and accurate military targeting procedures.

EO/IR Payload System EOTS (Electro-Optical Tracking System) is an electronic optical image tracking device that identifies danger and emergency situations on the battlefield, monitors and tracks tragets, and calculates their coordinates, and is an essential equipment for drones that can be used in both military and private sectors. M1 and M2 were developed to use a common mount that connects to the drone by keeping the size of the gimbal assembly the same at 4 inches. M1 can be recognized at a maximum of 0.2km for humans during the day and at night, and M2, which operates in adverse conditions at night, can be recognized at up to 1.0km for tanks in the form of IR continuous zoom.

The ACTUS® ARKS3245 (3-24X, 56mm FFP) Long Range Riflescope is expertly designed for precision and durability, meeting the demanding needs of professional users across a wide range of environments. With a First Focal Plane (FFP) optical design, it ensures fast and accurate target coverage at all magnification levels. The illuminated reticle provides clear and smooth targeting even in low-light conditions, such as at dawn or dusk. Whether you're operating in challenging or ever-changing environments, the ACTUS® ARKS3245 is the ideal riflescope to deliver superior performance when accuracy and reliability are crucial.

Supports non-destructive inspection of aircraft composite skin structures and is composed of a piezoelectric layer sensor, data acquisition equipment, and damage analysis software. Utilizes piezoelectric sensors to generate Lamb-wave and acquire signals, collecting data to accurately detect and assess composite damage. Visualizes inspection results on display such as damage location, size and index. - POD Accuracy: 1 inch 90% or more - POD Precision : Position error within 30 mm - 64 channels / 230 path reference detection time within 10 minutes - Sensor : Resonance resistance less than 400kΩ - Sensor : MIL-STD-810G - Sensor : RTCA DO-160 Section 23.0 - DAQ : x128 Piezoelectric sensor interface
