A French company that makes a key component in night vision systems used by some NATO countries announced Monday it is building a new factory in the United States amid a push for NATO members to increase their defense spending. Exosens said the new factory in the northeastern state of Massachusetts is expected to begin operations in 2027, and is part of a $21 million overall investment that also includes expanded operations in Europe. "The return of high-density combat has underscored the critical importance of night operation abilities as a key tactical advantage," the company said in a statement. Last week, Exosens announced a contract with a maker of night vision goggles in NATO member Finland. Some information for this story was provided by Reuters
