DRS said it has already delivered 1,100 sights to Sweden as part of the deal, and that production took place in Melbourne, Florida, and Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By sensing infrared waves, the thermal sights can pinpoint targets in daytime and nighttime as well as in smoke and fog, according to the company website. DRS also claims the devices operate silently and emit minimal heat and radio energy, making them hard to detect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leonardo Germany, a unit of DRS\u2019 Italian parent company Leonardo, is the prime contractor for the firm, fixed-price deal, the news release read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DRS announced June 21 that it will <a
